Juventus fans have invaded the pitch at the Allianz Stadium to protest against the signing of Romelu Lukaku.
The Bianconeri have been heavily linked with the out-of-favour Chelsea striker but the supporters do not want the deal to happen because of his links to Inter Milan.
Lukaku signed for Inter in 2019 and scored 64 goals in 95 games, helping them win Serie A under Antonio Conte.

He returned on loan last term after a dismal second spell back at Chelsea, who had paid a massive £97.5 million fee.
With Mauricio Pochettino confirming he is not in his plans, Juve officials have been exploring ending his Stamford Bridge nightmare and offering him an escape route.
But in the 8-0 win against their reserve side on Wednesday, the club supporters made their opposition known, storming the pitch to chant, "Don't sign Lukaku!".
It follows on from a banner telling the Belgian to avoid joining the club. The Curva Sud group unveiled the message, which read “Lukaku stay in Milan, we already have a second goalkeeper.”

That particular comment was in reference to his him blocking Federico Dimarco's goal-bound effort in the Champions League final defeat against Manchester City.
Anti-Lukaku chants had already broken it in the stands before a large number of fans made their way onto the playing surface and led to stewards forming a shield near the tunnel.
Striker Dusan Vlahovic scored in the rout amid links he could be heading to Chelsea as part of a deal for Lukaku. The latest from Fabrizio Romano is that Chelsea have "no intention" of doing a deal whereby Vlahovic is used as a makeweight.

Lukaku was recently approached by an Inter fan who told him to refrain from saying 'Forza Juventus" if he signs for the Turin outfit.
In response, Lukaku replied: "No no never. I don't think the deal will go through."
