The Italian national team extended their fantastic series in Israel, defeating the local team 3-1 in the World Cup qualifiers.
Gian Piero Ventura's disciples have not tasted the bitter taste of defeat in such a tournament for thirteen years, traveling to the world championships.
However, after the match, the Arab press tried to ignite a scandal, claiming that the Italian team symbol Gianluigi Buffon provoked Jewish fans by chanting "Freedom for Palestine!".
It was written that the veteran could even face disqualification for inciting intolerance.
The Italian media soon learned about the scandal.
However, ultimately G. Buffon can breathe easier - no evidence was presented about the veteran's behavior and FIFA is unlikely to initiate an investigation.
