First the local rubbish bins got a make over...

Then the local rubbish trucks joined in...

Some fans decided they would burn their official and home made jerseys...

Other fans preferred to flush away their anger and potentially clog their toilets...

Local Pizzerias got in on the hate...

After missing three huge chances in three finals for Argentina, there were questions of his accuracy...

Napoli's president shared his feelings...

So did Francesco Totti...

However Patrice Evra seemed excited by Higuain's move...

Book the date: April 2, 2017 - Juventus are away to Napoli, should be an interesting welcome for Gonzalo Higuian.
