Indeed, it was a chaotic moment that may have ruined Speed’s day. Moreover, the result would have also left the Youtuber in anger, as Pep Guardiola’s side won 2-1 against Ten Hag’s men. Anyway, what exactly happened between them?
How did the altercation begin?
It was during the water break when the YouTuber was addressing his fans live when the supporter came and punched him. While Speed could react, his bodyguard confronted the attacker and tackled the man to the ground. The situation escalated as the man continued to resist, and a crowd of supporters gathered around them in the stands.
