Previously unseen video from Manchester: See how home and Red Star fans "spoiled" moment of silence
A Manchester City fan spoke first
The first round of the Champions League is now behind us and the impressions of what we have seen during the previous two days are slowly summed up. The results are mostly as expected with a few minor surprises.
Red Star (Crvena Zvezda) marked its return to the elite football competition with a match against the current European champion Manchester City, and it can be said that the Serbian side did well, despite the fact that the rival's triumph could certainly have been more convincing than the final 3-1.
A good part of the show was stolen by Red Star fans, who gathered in large numbers on the streets of the English city and at the Etihad stadium. A procession of fans arriving at the stadium, the frenzy when Red Star scored the leading goal, the Serbians goading the home fans by waving money at them - there are many moments that will be remembered, and now another video has appeared taken at the very beginning of the match.
Disastrous earthquakes that hit the northern part of Africa, especially Morocco, shocked the whole world. There have been a large number of victims and other catastrophic consequences, and as a sign of support, all European matches are starting by observing a moment of silence. And yet, this was somewhat "spoiled" ahead of Red Star's game in England.
The video taken from the visiting fans' stand shows someone from the nearby, home sections shouting, "Are you scared," as the stadium was supposed to be silent.
The Red Star supporters were quick to respond. Someone from the crowd of Serbians shouted "F*ck you" back at the original "offender," which was followed by murmur and boos, but eventually a minute's silence turned into applause.
