Bayern Munich defender Josip Stanisic has issued an apology for pushing a ball kid during the Champions League quarterfinal loss at Inter Milan. The incident occurred as Stanisic attempted to take a throw-in during added time, with the ball kid seemingly delaying the process by throwing the ball away. Despite Stanisic's actions, he was not booked during the match, which Bayern ultimately lost 4-3 on aggregate.
Stanisic acknowledged his mistake, expressing regret over his actions and stating that he was frustrated by the perceived time-wasting tactics employed by the opposing team. Inter Milan's coaching staff noted the incident and raised it with the referee during the match. UEFA has not commented on the matter or indicated if any disciplinary actions will be taken against Stanisic.
