Vladan Milojevic, coach of the Serbian Red Star team, violently attacked Spanish referee Gil Manzano, following a loss to Milan by two goals to one, in the sixth round of the Champions League.
The result was a 1-1 draw between the two teams at San Siro Stadium, Milan’s stronghold, in the match between the two teams yesterday evening, Wednesday, before Tammy Abraham, the Rossoneri striker, appeared to score the winning goal in the 87th minute of the match.
The goal shot was accompanied by a state of controversy, due to suspicions that Milan defender Matteo Gabbia pushed the Red Star player in front of the goal, which greatly facilitated Abraham’s task of scoring, which the referee ignored and considered the goal correct.
For his part, Milojevic said in the press conference for the match: “There was a clear error and the referee did not blow the whistle. We were not able to take any point back from this match because someone did not want to give it to us.”
He added in a message to Manzano: “What happened today is definitely a shame. You cannot deny that a mistake has occurred in the Champions League in such an arrogant manner, and do so with a smile on your face.”
He continued his speech: “We come from a small country, which is Serbia. We have many problems and challenges, and today I am the proudest person in the world.”
It is worth noting that Manzano is considered one of the most famous Spanish referees over the past years, and has caused many controversial situations for the duo Real Madrid and Barcelona on various occasions.
