A fan underestimates the Sevilla goalkeeper

A strange incident during the Europa League match between PSV and Sevilla: a fan of the home team arrives at the stadium and suddenly attacks the opponent’s goalkeeper. But he does not allow himself to be afraid, he knows how to stand up for himself. When the attacker hit goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic in the face, the goalkeeper reacted with lightning speed, grabbed the attacker and pinned him to the ground.

Players of both teams run to the scene outside the guest penalty area, trying to separate the two from each other. Just then the hosts rushed in and drove the fan away with a loud roar and boos.

Dimitrovic explained the incident as follows: “I was pushed from behind by a fan. I suppose he was upset with his team’s result. I suspect he was a little angry or drunk too.” The Serbian confirmed that he always defends himself when someone attacks him. And: “I hope something like this will be punished.” PSV were eliminated after losing 3-0 in the first leg despite winning 2-0 at home.

Anthony makes United celebrate

Anthony rewarded the effort with the winning goal in the 73rd minute.

However, Manchester United also needed rescue efforts from their players in order to hold on to beat Barcelona. First, Casemiro blocked two shots from the best position:

Then Raphael Varane cleared the ball just before the line. Otherwise, Lewandowski’s stoppage-time shot would have meant the equaliser.
