Universitatea Craiova clinched the championship in a decisive 5-0 victory over Universitatea Cluj at the end of the season. Immediately following the final whistle that sparked celebrations in Bănie, former midfielder Aurel Țicleanu analyzed the situation, highlighting the tensions caused by multiple teams claiming historical identity.

“Everyone Has Their Opinion”

Aurel Țicleanu, a former prominent midfielder, explained his decision to maintain a certain distance from local disputes, emphasizing the importance of respecting the written history of both clubs based in Bănie.

“I still have work to do during the day. I can say a few things. If you check the club website, you will see the team name and its founding date. I did nothing but say what is written there. Everyone has their opinion on the broadcast. If we talk about education, it means accepting everyone's opinions without necessarily agreeing with them. Beyond these things, there were enough scandals between teams, and I preferred to step back,” Țicleanu told Prima Sport.
