The cause of the altercation between Álvaro Montero and a police officer at the end of the Once Caldas vs. Millonarios match

The end of a very good match between Once Caldas and Millonarios was marred by an altercation between fans of the home team located in the west stand of the Palogrande Stadium, members of the visiting club, and the police.

At the end of the match broadcast on Win+ Fútbol, ​​Millonarios coach David González was seen arguing with a police officer. The club's communications director, César Ardila, also appeared to try to calm the situation.

What happened? Sources from the blue club revealed to EL TIEMPO that several Once Caldas fans began throwing objects at goalkeeper Álvaro Montero, the last Millonarios player to leave the field for the locker room.

Montero bent down to pick up some of the coins thrown at him, and the police officer seen arguing with González in the video pushed the goalkeeper toward the locker room. It was then that the coach came out to complain to the officer.

"With Álvaro, I'm standing there with him, and it's the police officer who treats him like a criminal. I intervene and tell him he can't treat a player like that; he can do things differently," González said in a delayed press conference.

The coach also denied a report circulating on social media about Montero allegedly attacking the officer. The video shows nothing of the sort.

According to sources at the blue club, the press conference started late because the route from the locker room to the press room passes through a fence that overlooks the street, from where fans began throwing objects at the players. Police had to intervene to calm the situation.

"Our dressing room has a wall that faces the street, and when we were in the dressing room, they threw everything at us. That's why we had to somewhat enclose ourselves so there wouldn't be any accidents," González confirmed.

Montero was criticized during the match for allegedly taunting him after cutting off Dayro Moreno's attack. The goalkeeper began performing somersaults in the middle of the field, which angered the home fans.
