A security guard did not allow Javier Zanetti into the room at the time of Inter’s Champions League draw
Javier Zanetti almost missed Inter Milan’s Champions League draw because he was not carrying special identification and a security guard refused him entry into the hall because he did not recognize him.
On Sunday evening in Rome he celebrated Inter’s great victory over Lazio, which allowed them to be +4 ahead of Juventus in the fight for the Scudetto, and a day later he traveled to Nyon, Switzerland, for the draw for the round of 16 of the championship However, during the Champions League, Javier Zanetti’s presence in the room caused a thousand waves.
And that is because Inter’s vice president arrived at the House of Football at the last minute, a few minutes before the start of the draw. The veteran Argentine midfielder didn’t have any ID on him and was in… trouble because a security guard refused him entry.
He tried in vain to get through without the necessary documents and it took the intervention of third parties to convince the security guard and allow him to enter the room and watch the live match between Inter and Atletico, with the corresponding video posted on the social media went viral.
