The shocking scene occurred on Wednesday April 16 in the evening, during the quarter -final return of the Champions League between the German club and Inter Milan. The Bavarians were eliminated from the competition.
In a San Siro boiling stadium, the intensity of the quarter -final return between Inter Milan and Bayern Munich overflowed … to outside the field. While Bayern desperately was trying to tear off the extensions on Wednesday, April 16, in the last moments of this quarter-final return from the Champions League (2-2, final score), Josip Stanišić completely lost his nerves.
The Croatian defender, frustrated by the time earned by the Milanese, violently attacked a ball collector deemed too slow to make the ball. In a surreal scene, Stanišić pushed him with force of his chair, sending the young boy to the ground under the dumbfounded eyes of the integral bench.

The incident immediately ignited the spirits: Federico Dimarco, furious, received a yellow card for defending the collector. The Bavarian player has escaped any sanction at the moment.
“It was a bit stupid on my part,” said Stanišić after the match. “All the world teams waste time when they lead, but I should have kept my cool.” A mea culpa which may not be enough to erase the shocking image of this stampede.
