We all know the Reds for their incredible show of sportsmanship and talent everywhere they play. Recently, Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez fought with fans of Colombia and the whole incident was unfortunate. Fans and a lot of the major media outlets have been vocal about this post-match scenario lately.
Darwin Nunez And His Infamous Fight With Colombia Fans
Just like the 2024 Euros, this year’s Copa America is also on the verge of an end. After the recent semifinal match between Uruguay and Colombia, the world saw the match ending in absolute chaos.
Darwin Nunez, the striker from Liverpool was seen exchanging blows with the supporters of Colombia. We all have been curious about what led to this incident.
On Wednesday, Colombia had a serious obstacle ahead of their way to the Copa America finals. Charlotte in North Carolina saw them crush Uruguay with a 1-0 win.
As the match ended, fans from Uruguay started to climb the fence and attack fans from their opposition. Lastly, it appears that they did not like the defeat at all.
Footage showed Darwin Nunez attacking fans from Colombia as he was trying to defend. After exchanging blows, the Liverpool striker was seen taking his young son to safety.
Furthermore, according to Captain Jose Gimenez, Nunez and Araujo were defending their families.
“Please be careful, our families are in the stands, there are little newborn babies. It was a disaster; there was no police and we had to defend our families. This is the fault of two or three people who had a few too many drinks and don’t know how to drink.”
Gimenez reflects on the brawl.
Conmebol, the governing body of football in South America, has also commented on the situation.
“Our work is based on the conviction that soccer connects and unites us through its positive values. There is no place for intolerance and violence on and off the field.”
Conmebol on this fight.
