The postponement of the Bologna-Milan match has descended into chaos, with all parties involved locked in a dispute over the decision. The match was originally scheduled for Saturday at 6 pm at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium, but the mayor of Bologna issued an autonomous order postponing the game.
However, the Serie A League has refused to acknowledge the postponement, citing that the mayor does not have the power to cancel the match. The League is instead pushing for the match to be played, with reports indicating that the teams, Bologna and Milan, share this opinion.
The situation has led to three possible scenarios emerging. The first is that Bologna would be forced to accept a 0-3 defeat, with the match being played at a different stadium. The second scenario is that the match could be played at another stadium, with the League making the decision. The third and final possibility is that the match could be played, but behind closed doors.
There is also a fourth option, with reports suggesting that the match could be rescheduled for a later date. The teams are waiting for a final decision, with Milan’s training program for tomorrow’s session remaining unchanged.
The impasse has also raised questions about the role of the mayor, who issued the autonomous order without consulting the prefect. Under the legislation for COVID-19, the mayor is not entitled to cancel a match.
The situation has far-reaching implications, with the potential to affect the Serie A schedule, fantasy football, and the careers of the players involved. A meeting between the prefect and the mayor of Bologna is set to take place tomorrow morning to try to resolve the issue, leaving all parties waiting with bated breath.
