The match between Benfica and Real Madrid, valid for the Champions League play-off stage, held last night, ended with the Spanish team winning 0-1. However, the sporting result took a back seat due to the incidents reported after the end of the match.
According to footage broadcast by CBS, Benfica president Rui Costa was also involved in a clash in the stadium tunnel. The live report said the incident occurred “between Rui Costa, president of Benfica, and a member of the Real Madrid delegation.”
The Portuguese club later responded with an official statement, denying the president's involvement in the incident. At this stage, there has been no public statement from Real Madrid regarding the incident.
During the tense moment, UEFA representatives were also spotted in the footage, reportedly attempting to stop the cameras from recording. The match and related incidents are now under review by European football's governing body.
Further details are expected to be made public after the completion of the investigation and official reactions from the parties involved.
