A town mayor who hails from Milan has said there will be no divided loyalties when his adopted home side, AFC Bournemouth, host AC Milan. Bournemouth mayor Roberto Rocca insists, despite his family supporting the Italian visitors, he will be cheering mostly for the Cherries at Thursday's Europa League game. The mayor, who has lived in Bournemouth for 13 years, called the tie a "fantastic opportunity".
