Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez clashes with Colombian fans after Uruguayan players’ families attacked

Uruguayans Darwin Nunez and Ronald Araujo were among the players at the front of the brawl, with captain Jose Maria Gimenez saying the players were trying to defend their families.

“Let me say something before they cut you off because they won’t let us speak into the microphone. They don’t want me to say anything about what’s going on, but this is a disaster,” Gimenez said on the official broadcast.

“Please be careful, our families are in the stands, there are little newborns. 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.”
