Napoil Boss Gives Juventus Supporters Middle Finger Ahead Of Clash

Serie A's title-contenders Juventus and Napoli went head to head in a much anticipated contest. The Old Lady dropped points against Crotone meaning that their southern rivals were only four points below them in the table.

It's fair to say that this game had 'heated' written all over it. And not least because there was much hostility before the match, and no, it wasn't just the supporters. Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri was on the team coach approaching the Juventus Stadium, driving towards the arena among a flock of Juve supporters when he did some remarkable

.

The manager was in no mood for games, as he surprisingly flipped the bird to the fervent fans on the outside of the coach.

This, of course, sent social media in meltdown. It's hardly gallant thing to do on enemy turf. It might have worked, though. The away side won the game 1-0 through a goal at the death, defender Kalidou Koulibaly's immense last-minute header to give Napoli a shocking victory.
