For many, San Siro is a box office stadium to attend once in their life, and with the recent news about its closure, a new stadium is to be built, so crowds will likely flock to the stadium to watch Milan in action.
However, it is not just leisure for some people. Indeed, on Wednesday, there were a few attendees present for official business.
Famous faces present
As Tuttomercatoweb writes, yesterday’s game saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic welcome and present several Olympic champions. An understandable moment, considering he was involved for the torchbearer ceremony.
So, Giovanni Franzoni, Sara Conti, Daniel Grassl, Nicolò Macii and Matteo Rizzo each were welcomed to San Siro. Additionally, NFL legend Tom Brady was seen pitchside, too.
Unsurpisingly, too, Gennaro Gattuso was present for the game, at present there are several Rossoneri team members in contention for a national team place. So, it is key that the head coach sees these players in action, especially in a high-presure game.
Considering Samuele Ricci and Davide Bartesaghi played form the start, it was a good chance to assess both.
