Nerves on edge at Old Trafford
In the 62nd minute of the match at ‘Old Trafford’ spirits flared up on the pitch: the fuse was the gesture of Bruno Fernandes, in the throes of nervousness for having committed the penalty foul with which the ‘Blaugrana’ took the lead, which triggers a real brawl. The altercation arose when the Portuguese ex Udinese e Sampdoria among others, throws a ball in anger at Frankie Young. The Dutchman is pushed and the referee of the match, the Frenchman Turpin whistles for a foul, but Bruno Fernandes doesn’t agree: the Lusitanian player, booked in the 60th minute and therefore at risk of expulsion, hears the whistle but doesn’t stop and hits the Dutchman who was on the ground. A tumult ensues involving almost all the protagonists on the pitch: the Barcelona players want the second yellow card for Fernandesthe players of the Manchester United defend the partner. The match director makes the wisest choice: he releases all tension and the game resumes without disciplinary measures.
