Marco Van Basten blasts Burna Boy
The presence of entertainment during football games has been criticized by Marco Van Basten, who emphasized that fans go to games to watch football, not to listen to music.
Burna Boy, a legendary performer of Afrobeat music from Nigeria, delighted the crowd at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium.
Van Basten aired his opposing opinion when serving as a commentator for the championship game between Inter Milan and Manchester City.
His remarks reflected the opinions of football purists, who contend that there shouldn't be any sidelines to the game itself.
The pre-match entertainment, which appears to be based on the American sports model, is supported by some football fans.
