Back in 2005, AC Milan and Inter Milan faced each other in the second leg of the UCL quarter-finals. AC Milan had already won the first leg 2-0 and were 1-0 up in the second leg when Inter Milan's Esteban Cambiasso's goal was disallowed, after Inter Milan striker Julio Cruz was believed to have fouled AC Milan goalkeeper Dida.
This resulted in a furious reaction from Inter Milan fans, who began to throw missiles and other projectiles on to the pitch. One of the fireworks struck goalkeeper Dida on the shoulder and he had to be attended to by the medical team.
Firemen had to clear flares that had begun to engulf AC Milan's penalty box. The game was temporarily halted and the players asked to go to the dressing room. But even after the game resumed, Inter Milan fans continued throwing objects on to the pitch.
The game was finally abandoned and AC Milan were awarded a 3-0 victory. Inter Milan had to pay a penalty for the violence instigated by the fans, as they were ordered to play their next European game behind closed doors.
This incident is what gave rise to this iconic photo of Rui Costa and Marco Materazzi standing close to each other, as they watched what was going on.
