The defender of Barcelona, Inigo Martínez, seemed to spit at Inter Milan, Francesco Acerbi, the semifinal epic of the Champions League on Tuesday night, which led to a fight between the teams.
The heated moment came shortly before part time when Hakan Calhanoglu doubled the leadership of Inter from the point of penalty.
While Calhanoglu hit the penalty in the lower corner, Acerbi Ran fits Martínez and began to celebrate. The images revealed after full time by the Prime Video station showed Martínez, an international from Spain, who seemed to spit in the direction of Acerbi.
Acerbi reacted angry and had to be a hero for his carpets and the midfielder of Barcelona Pedri while pointing to Martínez.
The incident was presumed the cause of short -loaded scenes before part time, with emotions between Inter and Barcelona players who are remarkably high.
At the same time, the TV transmission indicated that the VAR was verifying a potential red card, but quickly cleared.
Presumable, the VAR did not see Martínez’s apparent saliva to Acerbi, since referee Szymon Marciniak would have been sent to a review in the field.
Barcelona’s players felt frustrated by the decision to grant an internal penalty after an intervention of VAR, with Pau Cubarsi ruled Lautaro Martínez with a sliding challenge in the box. Marciniak had stirred the game after seeing the initial challenge in the field.
Martínez could well face a disciplinary action if he is governed to have a dispute towards an opponent.
It was Inter who progressed to the final of the Champions League after winning a classic of all time of a 7-6 draw.
Barcelona was minutes from the victory, but Acerbi sent the semifinal to the extra time where Davide Frattesi won it for the hosts.
