Juventus director Pavel Nedved has slammed the "shameful" graffiti that was discovered near Fiorentina's stadium ahead of the clubs' match on Saturday.
The graffiti mocked the Old Lady over the Heysel drama and the death of former player Gaetano Scirea, who died in a car crash in 1988. As reported by Football Italia, it was discovered on the same day Juventus players paid their respects to Davide Astori, a move that led to "hopes for a reconciliation and return to civility."
Nedved told Sky Sport Italia (h/t Football Italia) the graffiti pointed to a problem with Italian football rather than just Fiorentina:
"On such a day that we go to lay flowers in homage to the Fiorentina captain, seeing the memory of our fans and our historic captain defiled in such a way is sad.
