Noel Gallagher: “As the third goes in, there’s absolute bedlam in the stadium… I’m jumping around like an idiot, passing my son around like the PL trophy… I turn around, Rúben Dias’ dad runs straight into me, headbutts me, I’m on the floor, covered in blood.
I don’t see the last two minutes, I’ve got to get stitched up. I’ve got stitches in my top lip, two black eyes. As I’m going down the corridor, Pep’s running up crying, we hug. He says, ‘What’s up with your face?’ And I said, ‘Go and be with your players!’
I look like I’ve had my head smashed in. Unbelievable. Lots of Man City fans are asking me what happened. I’m just saying, ‘You’ll never guess’. There’s not a mark on him [Dias’ dad]. He’s a big bear of a man. He almost knocked my teeth out.”
