Video of Inter Milan and Valencia Brawl

Here’s the video from the brawl at the end of Tuesday’s Champions League match between Inter Milan and Valencia. The main actor in the madness was Valencia reserve David Navarro who apparently no longer plays in the band Jane’s Addiction. Navarro ran onto the pitch and punched Inter Milan midfielder Nicolas Burdisso, breaking the Argentine’s nose. The Inter players didn’t take to kindly to this, chasing after Navarro in a scene right out of Tom and Jerry. Navarro clearly had no plans to stick around to get his arse whipped by some enraged Italians.

The description of what went down after the video ends:

Several Inter players tried to trip up Navarro as he ran off the pitch and the fighting continued in the tunnel.

Inter goalkeeper Francesco Toldo entered the Valencia dressing room, while Luis Figo and Inter’s Esteban Cambiasso were involved in scuffles as they tried to follow him with security guards having to intervene.

Local media reported that Navarro was ushered away from the stadium.

Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini said he was deeply disappointed by the incident.

‘A Valencia player went mad when he came on to the pitch and hit Burdisso,’ said Mancini. ‘He broke Burdisso’s nose.

‘Toldo saw the incident and it is possible he went into the Valencia dressing room.

‘Players have to learn how to behave on the pitch.’

Indeed. This kind of action shouldn’t take place in the dressing room when it can take place on the pitch instead for all the world to enjoy. Can’t wait to see the rest of the video from this one.

And just like a neighbor who can’t understand how the quiet man down the street could be an ax murderer, Valencia’s Italian defender Emiliano Moretti expressed his surprise at his team-mate’s actions. “Navarro is a perfectly normal person and I don’t know what would cause him to do such a thing,” he told Italian television.
