Sampdoria Players Stay in Serie B After Playoff Chaos

Ah, Italian football and its scandals! Sampdoria, a club with a rich tradition, will still play in Serie B next season thanks to a not-so-sporting atmosphere during the relegation playoff against Salernitana. The match was abandoned in the 65th minute due to fan chaos – smoke bombs, chairs flying, and total mayhem on the pitch! Even though Sampdoria was leading 2-0, the sports judge decided to officially record the match as a 3-0 win for Sampdoria, while Salernitana is relegated to Serie C and will play two matches behind closed doors. Is this justice or just another proof that football in Italy is not for the faint-hearted? Comment below – was the judge’s decision fair or just another football fiasco?
