In Brighton-Roma the spectacle was not only on the field with the players, but also with the coaches and the fans in the stands. Beyond the compliments exchanged by the two coaches in press conferences, where they reiterated their mutual respect and friendship, the challenge of the Round of 16 in the Europa League was also ignited by the fans who engaged in a back-and-forth of teasing and banners. This time, at the Falmer Stadium, it was the English fans who touched upon a legend of Roma, namely Totti who, according to them, had betrayed Italy in the worst possible way: with pineapple on pizza.

The Banner Against Totti

During the match, a banner appeared among the Brighton fans targeting the former yellow-and-red captain: «Totti loves pineapple on pizza». A phrase that triggered hilarity on the web, even among the Romans who welcomed the teasing of the opponents with great sympathy, who, at the Olimpico had conceded four goals. Precisely in the Foro Italico's facility, the yellow-and-reds had teased the opponents with a banner about Queen Elizabeth.
