Ryan Giggs' late winner for Manchester United almost sparked a walk-out from
angry Lille players at the climax of a controversial Champions League clash.
Giggs curled in a quick free-kick after 83 minutes while Lille were still
assembling their defensive wall. Lille players, furious that an earlier header
by Peter Odemwingie had been ruled out, walked off the pitch as the last 16
first leg clash boiled over. They eventually returned, and United held on for a
crucial victory.
That's right. The french team said "If you don't let us win, then you can't play with our ball!"This was the same match where this happened:
But the main talking point of a drab first 45 minutes were the worrying scenes
involving United's supporters, with too many appearing to be packed in lower
tier of the away section. Dozens of United supporters were concerned, and French
police appeared to respond to a genuine security problem by firing off tear gas.
They'd obviously run out of white flags...
