The moments following Barcelona’s dramatic comeback against Benfica (5-4) on Tuesday were overshadowed by chaos in the tunnel leading to the locker rooms, requiring police intervention.
According to reports from a source, the Portuguese authorities had to intervene to prevent the escalation of conflicts at a time when Raphinha, the former Sporting player who scored two goals, expressed his frustrations at the insults thrown by the players from Bruno Lage’s team.
“I am someone who respects everyone, but when I left the pitch I heard many insults. Benfica’s young people got angry and, instead of enjoying the celebrations, they chose to insult. I’m not someone who lets it happen; if someone says something to me, I respond after a football match, having to experience that…” said the Brazilian striker in comments reported by Movistar+. .
