Bayern's Stanisic Pushes Ball Boy Amid UCL Exit

During the closing moments of the Champions League quarter-final between Bayern Munich and Inter Milan, Bayern defender Josip Stanisic shoved a ball boy to the ground in frustration after the boy tossed the ball away, delaying play. The incident, which occurred as Bayern pushed for a decisive goal, sparked outrage from Inter’s bench but went unpunished by the referee at the time. Stanisic later admitted his actions were 'a bit stupid,' acknowledging that time-wasting is common when teams are leading. Despite Bayern’s late efforts, the match ended 2-2, sending Inter through to the semi-finals 4-3 on aggregate. UEFA has not yet announced whether disciplinary action will be taken against Stanisic. The match’s outcome means Bayern miss a chance to play the Champions League final at their home stadium.
