BREAKING: #UECLfinal Stopped Moment Cristiano Biraghi Struck By Missile Thrown From Crowd [VIDEOS]—-Cristiano Biraghi was injured by an object thrown from the West Ham supporter section in the Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina.
The 30-year-old full-back was preparing to take a corner after 33 minutes of play, with the score 0-0 at the Eden Arena in the Czech Republic.
It then appeared that plastic cups were thrown in the direction of the player as he approached the ball, but he appeared to flinch when something smaller was aimed in his direction.
He then sarcastically applauded the fans, before it became clear that he was injured by the missile.
Biraghi was seen with a cut to the back of his head, with a large amount of blood streaming from the back of his head, which required medal attention and a bandage so he could return to action.
The match was halted by the officials as a result of the incident, with both Fiorentina and West Ham looking for a rare moment of European success.
