AS Roma fans and coach report issues following Manchester United defeat

AS Roma supporters and manager Gian Piero Gasperini have raised concerns following the team's Champions League loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford. The match ended in a 3-2 comeback victory for Manchester United after Roma initially held a 2-0 lead.

Roma fans reported a difficult experience in Manchester, alleging intimidating behavior by local police. Supporters claimed they faced long delays, overcrowding, and hostile treatment during their transit to and from the stadium. One fan reported that a supporter experiencing a medical emergency was allegedly restrained by police rather than receiving immediate medical attention.

Following the match, Gasperini criticized officiating decisions, specifically referring to a controversial penalty awarded to Manchester United as a “rigorino” (little penalty). He expressed frustration over the decision and the subsequent retake of the penalty, noting that such incidents are disruptive to the game.
