Watch the footage: A Juventus fan stormed the pitch and injured the team's defender

A bizarre incident occurred during the traditional friendly match of Juventus against the club's reserve team at the Allianz Stadium. Dozens of fans stormed the pitch at the end of the match, as they do every year, to celebrate up close with the players and get souvenirs, but the celebration ended in an embarrassing injury incident for the team's defender, Federico Gatti.

According to reports in Italy, as the crowd ran towards the players, one fan slipped on the grass, lost his balance, and collided with force into Gatti's back. The Italian international defender did not expect the blow, fell to the pitch, and required an examination by the medical staff on the spot. The unusual event caused great astonishment among those present at the stadium, as the standard pitch invasion turned in an instant into a health risk for one of the key players of the Bianconeri.

Following the collision and the blow to his back, the Juventus medical staff decided not to take unnecessary risks and granted the player a full rest during the subsequent training session. The club clarified that this was a precautionary step, aiming to allow Gatti to recover and assess his condition ahead of upcoming official matches, while the Italian media has already defined the incident as one of the most absurd injuries of the season.
