Tuesday night’s Brazil vs. Argentina Foot ball World Cup qualifier at the Maracana was postponed by over thirty minutes due to clash between Rio de Janeiro police and spectators. Lionel Messi stated that the situation might have resulted in a “disaster.”
During the national anthems, a clash broke out between Brazilian and Argentinean supporters behind one of the goals, which prompted police to charge at the visiting team with nightsticks.
Police charged at Argentina’s supporters, some of them with batons, as opposing fans brawled in a stand behind one of the goals at the stadium in Rio de Janeiro during the national anthems.
As other spectators fled the brawl onto the pitch in fear, some Argentina supporters retaliated by tearing up and hurling chairs at the police.
Before being carried off the stadium on a stretcher, one Argentina supporter laid on the pitch with his face covered in blood.
After leaving the pitch and heading back to the dressing room, Messi and the Argentina squad went over to the terraces to diffuse the tension.
Brazilian police intervened to break up the clash among the two groups of fans, who were seated together at one end of the stadium, during the national anthems. However, Lionel Messi and other members of the national team were infuriated by the police’s harsh treatment of the Argentine fans.
The Inter Miami forward initially led his fellow players to the stand where the Clash was occurring and begged for calm from the police and Argentina supporters, some of whom were seen hurling torn-out seats at the security guards.
To stop a policeman from hitting an Argentina supporter with his baton, Aston Villa keeper Emi Martinez once bravely ascended onto the stand and grabbed his arm.
Marquinhos told reporters, “We were concerned about the families, ladies, and kids who we were witnessing up there in the stands in a panic.
After leaving the pitch and heading back to the dressing room, Messi and the Argentina squad went over to the terraces to diffuse the tension.
After that, Messi guided the squad off the field and back into the locker rooms, where they spent the next ten minutes. In the end, the game started thirty minutes late.
“We watched how they were hitting people, so it was horrible. In a televised interview from pitchside, Messi claimed, “The police were repressing the people with night sticks again, like they had done in the Libertadores final. There were players who had families over there.”
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) declared on its website that having mixed supporter bases at games run by South American football’s CONMEBOL and soccer’s global governing body FIFA is “standard.”
The statement went on to say, “The CBF did not create or enforce this model.” According to the CBF, 700 military police officers and 1,050 private security personnel “worked to secure the match.”
After the action was delayed for long time and police contained the visiting supporters in a pen, the Argentina players ultimately made their way back on Tuesday.
Argentina defeated Brazil 1-0 in their own stadium to extinguish their chances of qualifying for the Foot ball World Cup thanks to a goal by Nicolás Otamendi in the second half. Brazil has a 51-13-0 record in 64 such games going into the contest.
