Inter expecting action over brawl
Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti is expecting Uefa to act after a mass brawl followed their Champions League tie away to Valencia on Tuesday. Moratti claims Nicolas Burdisso's nose was broken by Valencia substitute David Navarro during the fracas.
Valencia progressed on away goals but Navarro looked to connect with a punch to the face of Argentine midfielder Burdisso during the free-for-all.
Moratti said: "We will let the Uefa delegate do whatever he has to do." Valencia midfielder Carlos Marchena looked to kick out at Burdisso after exchanging words.
The incident sparked the brawl and Navarro, who had not featured in the match, ran on to the middle of the pitch and punched Burdisso. 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 before security guards intervened.
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. 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."
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. -
Chelsea 2-1 FC Porto (agg 3-2)
Michael Ballack's late strike put Chelsea into the last eight of the Champions League after they came from behind to beat Porto.
The visitors took the lead when Ricardo Quaresma beat the offside trap to slide the ball under keeper Petr Cech.
The Blues equalised when Porto keeper Heldon let a fairly tame Arjen Robben shot slip through his hands.
And with 10 minutes left Ballack was on hand to volley in Andriy Shevchenko's carefully-weighted headed pass.
For a while it seemed that Jose Mourinho's multi-million pound outfit would bow out at the first knock-out stage.
Ricardo Quaresma punishes a poor Chelsea start and beats Petr Cech in the 15th minute to give Porto the opening goal
Arjen Robben picks up a yellow card for diving as Chelsea look short of options in front of goal and fail to impress
Chelsea draw back on terms just after the break when Porto keeper Da Silva Helton makes a mess of Robben's shot on goal
Porto took the lead after just 15 minutes when a slick move ended with Quaresma poking the ball under the body of the outstretched Petr Cech after picking up Lucho Gonzalez's pass.
Thereafter, at least for the rest of the half, the visitors looked in control and it seemed only a mistake or a moment of brilliance would affect their position.
As it happened, it was a mistake. And what a howler it was at the start of the second half.
Robben, who picked up a yellow card for diving early in the half, received the ball on the right and cut inside before firing in a relatively tame shot that keeper Heldon got a hand to, but not a strong enough one as the ball looped into the net. -
