The Milan Sports Daily pointed out that the actual number of injured people was higher than the reported number.

Some injured fans are innocent: a Belgian man walking on the streets of Naples. Two passers-by fans who were speeding by motorcycle stabbed the Belgian man in the leg for no reason.

"Italian Football Network" revealed that three people were arrested during the celebration in the early hours of Saturday, including a 26-year-old internet celebrity riding a motorcycle into the blockade section. The man tried to escape and threw a gun at the nearby Molosiglio garden, which police later arrested.
