Ryan arrived just over an hour before kickoff. Dan was absent.

In a surprising turn of events at the Olympic Stadium, Ryan Friedkin made an appearance for the match against Porto. The Vice President had been missing for over two months. His last appearance was on December 7th in the home match against Lecce. In that instance, the “giallorossi” won 4-1 and Ryan was drowned out by the jeers of the fans when the camera panned to him on the big screens. The relationship between the American presidency and the fans has yet to be mended. The chasm caused by the dismissal of Daniele De Rossi in September still remains wide open. However, Dan is conspicuously absent.
