  • AC Milan and Inter Milan have a storied history which doesn't end with just their games against each other
  • Barcelona hosted Inter Milan at the Camp Nou for the return fixture in the UEFA Champions League
  • FC Barcelona had added support when they took on Inter thanks to the gesture of an AC Milan fan

Football is a game full of rivalries but it also has a lot of pettiness too.

Sometimes fans take their rivalries to new levels by finding new ways to troll their opposition.

One AC Milan took his team’s rivalry with Inter Milan to a new level when he showed up in his team’s kit for a Champions League game. The catch was that AC Milan weren’t playing, but Inter were.

The fan rocked up to Camp Nou in Spain to watch his side’s bitter rivals battle Barcelona. The cheeky supporter even had a scarf held above his head, showing his support for the Catalan side.

How did social media react?

Football fans were quick to find the funny side of the incident and praised the supporter for his level of trolling. Others, presumably Inter Milan supporters, didn’t see the funny side of the situation.

Here are the best reactions from social media:

@equ8in:

"This is why AC Milan is the biggest club in Italy."

@theaayomikun:

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend in full display."

@RickzyFCB:

"And this is why I have a soft spot for AC Milan."

@a__namadi:

"We need more of this."

@HamburgCule:

"We will never forget this gesture."

@Reyes2k20:

"AC Milan fans = Barcelona fans."

Lewandowski saves drowning Barca in thrilling Inter draw

Robert Lewandowski scored two late goals to save Barcelona from elimination in the Champions League in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Inter Milan on Wednesday at Camp Nou.

The Polish forward pulled Xavi Hernandez's side level at 2-2 in the 82nd minute and then again at 3-3 in stoppage time, after Robin Gosens put the Italians ahead with one minute remaining.

Barcelona's Champions League fate is no longer in their own hands though and they still face a second consecutive group stage elimination if Inter Milan win at home against eliminated Viktoria Plzen on October 26.
