Inter Milan Celebrates Victory over Sampdoria
Sampdoria's bottem place team bus was attacked with sticks and stones by fans when it arrived back in Genoa following their 3-0 defeat by leaders Milan, the relegation-threatened side said. Windows on the bus were broken and players received death threats.
"The situation is delicate but the only way we can get out of it is by remaining united."
