Van Basten condemns Champions League final performance by Burna Boy
Marco van Basten Takes Aim at UEFA’s Startling Champions League Final Kickoff Show
In a scathing critique, former football legend Marco van Basten expressed his discontent with UEFA over the alleged “ridiculous” kickoff show preceding the highly-anticipated Champions League final clash between Manchester City and Inter Milan.
Reports emerged that Grammy award-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy, accompanied by Brazilian sensation Anitta, headlined the extravagant kickoff show in Istanbul on Saturday night.
However, van Basten, known for his successful stints at Ajax and AC Milan, deemed the spectacle as “madness,” emphasizing that the focus should have solely revolved around the essence of football. He voiced his disapproval during an engaging segment on Z Sports’ Match Of The Day program.
