Meunier said: After the end of the match, when I was in the tunnel leading to the dressing rooms, I met Florentino Perez, and I extended my hand to greet him, but he replied, "Are you waiting for me to greet you and be happy to meet you after what you did to Hazar? And you meet me and you are so happy." ).
Monnier continued: I told him that what happened between us, and he stretched his leg, it was the unintended injury on my part.
