Al Banoyesterday on the pitch before the starting whistle of the Europa League Final, commented on his performance to LaPresse: “I know I can sing but honestly there was so much excitement and noise that I didn’t understand anything. The desire to sing and not listen was great because it was worth it. It was an experience that I missed. Yes, I admit that I’m stuck: I’m the first to say it also because my voice has gone a bit and when you don’t hear, it goes off on its own business.”
“If it’s a concert your fans come to see you, They come to the stadium to watch the matches and it’s one side against the other, which is inevitable. Without a doubt I would do it againbut I know it’s difficult” he added.
Sportitalia also reported a second “cue” from the 80-year-old singer. “The 9.20am Ita flight from Fiumicino to Brindisi was delayed for more than half an hour. Problems with the aircraft? Strikes by pilots or cabin crew? Absolutely not – we read on the website of the TV station. The passengers already all on the plane did not understand the reasons for the delay. Suddenly the answer. One passenger was missing: Albano! Protagonist of the evening at the Olimpico before the Italian Cup final, he perhaps stayed up late and got the departure time wrong, he reached the plane late”.
