I'm always been reminded of this story, I've probably told it here before.

Paolo Maldini's first ever cap for Italy was against Yugoslavia in Zagreb in 1987. As a 17 year old he was expecting a hostile crowd. It was hostile alright, but against the home side and everyone was cheering for Italy. He didn't know why.

Then a few years later, he learned why. Zagreb is in Croatia and they were all anti-Yugoslavia because most of the team were Serbs.

I have a feeling this young Italan side now has similar memories and confusion about that region of the world. However this game is in Italy so it's going to be interesting how UEFA handles this.
