Bayern’s Josip Stanisic apologizes for shoving over ball boy, but did he need to apologize?

Bayern Munich defender Josip Stanisic caught some flak during his side’s 2-2 draw vs. Inter Milan on Wednesday when he shoved over one of the opposing ball boys. A Stanisic apology was issued for the incident.

Late in the contest with Inter leading 4-3 on aggregate, the ball went out for a throw in with Stanisic the nearest to it. In a sneaky attempt to waste some of Bayern’s precious seconds, the Inter ball boy rolled the game ball away from Stanisic.

The 25-year-old retaliated to the stunt by pushing the youngster off his seat and onto his back.

Aston Villa’s 3-2 victory (4-5 aggregate defeat) to Paris Saint-Germain was an enthralling and chaotic Tuesday night. The game’s unpredictability was foreshadowed before a ball was even kicked as the wrong theme music played before kickoff.

As is tradition with Champions League games, the players and officials line up at the center of the field while the tournament’s anthem is played in the stadium. There was one slight problem… the Europa League theme was played instead.

Down a goal, Tottenham had a chance to find an equalizer after being given a free kick just outside the penalty box. James Maddison stood over the ball and looked ready to fire in a shot at the host’s goal.
