Banner hanging above Coliseum reads: “A warning without offence…sleep with the lights on” and effigies of players are hanging nearby
And they have shown their anger by leaving a shocking outside Rome’s most famous monument last night, which read, “A warning, without offence… sleep with the lights on!”, a phrase which rhymes in Italian.
Effigies are wearing shirts of Daniele De Rossi, Radja Nainggolan and Mohamed Salah

The effigies were taken down shortly after 1am local time, but the banner took a little longer to remove.

The three players singled out are among the club’s most iconic.
