Lazio supporters, Gennaro Gattuso and Claudio Lotito
12 September 2026
Lazio’s 2-2 draw with AC Milan was played in a sparsely populated Stadio Olimpico as supporters continued an organised boycott against president Claudio Lotito. Coach Gennaro Gattuso said the atmosphere felt like the COVID period, with capacity around 20 to 30 percent.
Supporters greeted the team bus at Formello but stayed away from the stadium, leaving travelling Milan fans unusually prominent. Lazio surrendered a 2-0 lead after half-time, and Gattuso said playing without the backing of a full home crowd was not football to him.
