Inter Milan players were jumped on Saturday night by masked fans.
At approximately 2.30am last night in the car park of Milan's Malpensa airport, a group of Inter players was accosted by masked fans. Cristiano Zanetti came off worst, as he was struck on the back of the head and sustained bruising in the altercation.
"We cannot accept this kind of behaviour, as violence is beyond the pale," said President Giacinto Facchetti. "Anyone who calls themselves an Inter fan cannot condone this attack."
As a gesture of solidarity to their 'cousins', Milan asked to start their match with Chievo 10 minutes late in protest at the attack.
The San Siro giants are still dealing with the fall-out from their Champions League exit to Villarreal.
"Inter always manage to cause a stir in the media and I think it has been like that for a long time, going all the way back to when I was playing," said the former defender.
