Bayern Munich star apologizes after knocking down ball-collecting boy

The referee reacted quickly to calm the situation, while the Croatian later apologized and said he had reacted foolishly by pushing the ball-collector.

"Every team in the world steals time when they lead. It was a bit stupid of me to push it, I apologize," Stanisic told the German newspaper. Abenzeitung.

Otherwise, Inter will face Barcelona in the semi-finals, with the first leg being played on April 30. /Telegraph/
