Furious Bayern Munich star shoves ballboy to ground as Harry Kane and Co’s Champions League dream ends in disaster
BAYERN MUNICH star Josip Stanisic pushed a ballboy off his stool during his side’s Champions League clash with Inter Milan this evening.
The Croatian defender was in action as Bayern attempted to overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg in Munich last week.
England captain Harry Kane levelled the tie on 52 minutes, lasering a shot beyond Yann Sommer.
But Bayern soon shot themselves in the foot by conceding from two set pieces in quick succession; Lautaro Martinez and Munich old-boy Benjamin Pavard bagging the goals.
With 14 minutes remaining, Eric Dier‘s looping header put Vincent Kompany‘s men back within one.
And as Bayern steamed forward, they became more and more desperate in their bid to score.
Following more than five of the six additional minutes having been played, Sommer launched a goal kick straight out of touch.
Stanisic went to chase the ball in order to take a quick throw-in.
Having just been spoken to by Inter boss Simone Inzaghi, the ballboy did not quickly give Stanisic the ball.
When the ball was instead tossed away, the Bayern star appeared to shove the boy off his stool.

This elicited a huge roar from the San Siro crowd.
While several members of Inter’s coaching staff ran over to give the 25-year-old verbals.
The Slovakian referee Slavko Vincic booked Federico Dimarco, who had been substituted more than 20 minutes earlier, for his reaction.
Despite the protestations of the Inter bench, Stanisic’s shove went unpunished.
Bayern finally got the ball back into play and managed to fashion one final opportunity.
But substitute Kingsley Coman smashed the ball over the bar, with the final whistle signalling Inter’s triumph just moments later.
