The Manchester City supporter involved in the touchline row with Barcelona"s Neymar during Tuesday"s Champions League tie has claimed he did nothing wrong.
Aziz Hammad, a 19-year-old Manchester University student and Manchester City season-ticket holder, has described his confrontation with Neymar. “Neymar stared at me for a few seconds and looked to see if his manager was watching." Hammad told the Manchester Evening News after the 2-1 first-leg defeat.
“Then he gestured for me to come over but straight away the [final] whistle went. Then he came over and put his face right in my face. I didn’t know whether he was going to push me or what he was going to do. He was saying something to me in either Portuguese or Spanish but I couldn’t understand him. I didn’t do anything wrong, I just did what all the other fans were doing. If you are a professional, you expect to expect to be goaded by the home fans. That’s football. He was very unprofessional."
