During the tense final moments of the match between Inter Milan and Bayern Munich, a bizarre incident occurred at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. Josip Stanisic, Bayern Munich’s defender, clashed with a ball boy while trying to restart the game quickly, pushing him to the ground and sparking controversy.

The incident briefly escalated into a confrontation between coaching staff and players from both teams, delaying the match. The game ultimately ended in a 2-2 draw, with Simone Inzaghi’s squad narrowly advancing to the semifinals.

A day after the match, Stanisic addressed the incident: “All teams try to waste time in the final minutes, but Inter did it a bit better than others last night. Clashing with the ball boy was perhaps foolish on my part, and I regret pushing him. In the heat of the moment, I was frustrated, but my reaction was unnecessary.”
