Tense Moments After Real Madrid’s Victory
Real Madrid secured a 2-1 victory over Inter in a recent Champions League encounter at the Santiago Bernabéu, but the match’s closing moments were overshadowed by a heated confrontation involving Real Madrid defender Dean Huijsen and Inter players Nicolò Barella and Lautaro Martinez.
Videos circulating on social media captured the Spain international in a tense exchange with the Inter duo. During the argument, Huijsen was seen telling Italy international Barella to “shut up” in Italian, stating, “Stai zitto.” The Inter midfielder reportedly protested to the referee following the incident.
Fabricated Claims Regarding Lautaro Martinez
Following the match, reports began to surface in some Italian media outlets attributing specific quotes to Huijsen regarding his clash with Inter captain Lautaro Martinez. These reports claimed Huijsen had advised Martinez to “respect Real Madrid” and added that the Spanish giants had “never lost a Champions League Final 5-0.”
However, these widely circulated quotes have been confirmed as fabricated. Investigations revealed that Huijsen never made such statements, and the claims originated from a satire account, not from verified sources. PULSER Football advises fans to be cautious of unverified information on social media.
Huijsen’s Background
Dean Huijsen, who previously played for Italian clubs Juventus and Roma, found himself at the centre of attention during the high-stakes Champions League fixture. His past experience in Serie A likely contributed to his ability to communicate directly with the Italian players during the on-pitch dispute.
