‘I was just angry’ – Bayern Munich star admits he was ‘stupid’ for shoving Inter Milan ball boy
Bayern Munich star Josip Stanisic saw red during Bayern’s Champions League clash with Inter Milan at the San Siro on Wednesday night. The German giants were chasing a goal in injury time that would have taken the tie to extra-time, but Inter had other ideas. Stanisic pushed a ball boy as he tried to get Bayern back into the tieGetty As so many teams do, Simone Inzaghi’s side were looking to wind down the clock in order to secure their spot in the semi-finals of the competition. Even the ball boys were in on the ploy, with one ball boy being deemed to have held onto the ball for a moment too long by Stanisic, before he threw the ball away to waste a few more seconds. Keen to get the ball to take a quick throw-in, Stanisic pushed the unsuspecting ball boy off his stool as he tried to retrieve it. The ball boy had been passed the ball by Inter Milan boss Inzaghi with just one minute left to play. The incident led to Stanisic being confronted by Inter Milan players as tempers threatened to boil over. Inter Milan’s Federico Dimarco, who had been substituted, was booked for his reaction to Stanisic by referee Slavko Vincic. Despite pushing the ball boy, Stanisic avoided punishment from the referee for his actions. But speaking after the game, the Croatian defender suggested that he regretted his actions. Stanisic said: “Every team in the world, when they’re leading, plays for time at the end. “It was a bit stupid of me to push him.
