Atalanta fan stabbed to death in clashes with Inter supporters, police confirm

A 26-year-old fan of Serie A side Atalanta was stabbed to death during clashes between Atalanta and Inter supporters in the northern city of Bergamo, Italy's Carabinieri police said. The groups of supporters clashed in a pub in Bergamo on Saturday night after one of the Inter supporters chanted provocatively, the head of the Carabinieri office in Bergamo Carmelo Beringheli, said. The confrontation continued in a street near the Atalanta stadium and escalated into violence when a man identified as an Inter supporter stabbed the Atalanta fan, Beringheli said, adding that emergency services arrived swiftly but were unable to save his life. The Atalanta fan who died has been identified as Riccardo Claris. A male in his late teens had been arrested and said he acted to protect his brother, Beringheli added. Atalanta fans unfurled a banner at the start of their 4-0 Serie A win at Monza on Sunday in memory of the murdered fan, which read: 'Claris Ovunque con noi' (Claris everywhere with us). 'What happened to our fan must never happen again,' Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini said in a press conference after the match.
