Brighton fans took revenge on Roma ultras with a joke sign about Francesco Totti and pizza during their Europa League clash on Thursday night.
Roma fans held a banner with an X-rated message about the late Queen Elizabeth II during their 4-0 first leg victory.
Then, when the roles were reversed, Seagulls fans made their own banner, more cheerful, but on an extremely controversial topic.
Brighton’s banner was in Italian for their visiting enemies, but in English it read: “Totti loves pineapple on pizza.”
Italians firmly believe that pineapple should not be among their most famous exports, and Totti spent his entire career at Roma, as well as winning the World Cup with his country in 2006.

Totti made 786 appearances for Roma during his time at the club and scored 307 goals.
The Brighton sign struck a different tone to the sign at the Stadio Olimpico last week, which read: “The Queen gave shit.”
Queen Elizabeth II died in September 2022 at the age of 96, and her son Charles assumed the throne after her death.
Two Brighton fans were stabbed by “six or seven people wearing masks” the day before the first leg in Rome.
Brighton also accused Roma fans of throwing bottles, coins and lighters at the away team and called on UEFA and Italian police to take “immediate action” against those responsible.
In the second leg, Danny Welbeck scored from the edge of the area to reduce the deficit, but Brighton could not find more goals as they were eliminated from the competition in the round of 16.

Francesco Totti spent his entire club career at Roma, playing 786 games for the Italian club.
The Italian team also had the ball in the back of the net to extend their overall lead, but Sardar Azmoun’s incredible acrobatic goal was disallowed by the referee, who deemed his use of a high boot dangerous.
Roma, fifth in Serie A, will find out their next European rival in Friday’s draw.
The Italian club could once again face English rivals as both Liverpool and West Ham booked their places in the final eight with comprehensive victories on Thursday.
