According to Portal dos Dragões, there were no physical altercations in the tunnel, despite the visible tension on the way to the dressing rooms, sparked by an exchange of words between Henrique Monteiro and Enzo Fernández.

According to the same source, the referee’s and UEFA delegates’ reports do not record any incident likely to result in serious sanctions for FC Porto or Manchester City. Even so, that possibility was raised by the English press, which feared the absence of some Citizens players in future matches.

In the case of the Dragons, the focus would be on Francesco Farioli’s intervention with Rúben Dias, after the defender had an altercation with Tiago Madureira as he left the pitch.

After the break, tempers cooled. Despite a more heated clash between Haaland and Rosario, the match ended calmly and without further incidents.
