The game between Bologna and Milan, two Champions League teams that meet in Serie A on Saturday, will not be played by order of the Mayor of the cityMatteo Lepore.

Severe flooding in the municipality, particularly in the Porto-Saragozza area where the Renato Dall’Ara stadium is located, has given Lepore an opportunity to solve a problem an ordinance ordering the cancellation of the game.

This was reported by “La Gazzetta dello Sport”. There were three possible scenarios: Play the game behind closed doors, play it in a neutral stadium or give the three points directly to Milan. After Bologna did not reject any of the proposals, the game was eventually postponed.

Both Serie A and the mayor and representatives of both clubs met An agreement was reached to postpone the gamewhich has to take place in 2025 due to the tight schedule.

“It is an incomprehensible decision. “The mayor has banned the game from being played behind closed doors and I still don’t know why,” Milan President Paolo Scaroni said after the meeting.

“It’s the smartest thing you can do because it allows us to maintain revenue from the game. “It was agreed that part of it would go to the families affected by the floods,” said Bologna boss Claudio Fenuci.

The only thing that remains clear is that the game between Bologna and Milan will not take place on Saturday and a date will probably be set in February 2025He is already wanted for the game.
