That of the 1990/1991 UEFA Cup, against Brøndby. One of the most iconic evenings in Roma history, sealed by the incredible roar with which, in the 87th minute, theOlympic he celebrated Voeller’s 2-1, which pushed his team into the final – then lost – against Inter. The smoke bombs lit on that 24th April thirty-three years ago were countless between the curve and the stands and managed to produce a majestic effect. As only pyrotechnics can do. Initially I don’t even pay too much attention to it, believing it to be the “usual” switching on here and there, only to then notice the synchrony with which they slowly cover the entire sector.

The charm of the forbidden regardless. But also that of the wild and primordial folklore with which the first Curvaiole generations began to occupy the popular sectors and revolutionize the way,

Immediately after the match, it became known that the Latvian had avoided the worst scenario – namely, an injury to the Achilles tendon, but now after the tests it has become clear that the Latvian injured the soleus muscle, which is one of the parts of the calf muscle.
