Former Man U player says sorry for 'losing it' after fight with fan

Sergio Romero, the former Manchester United goalkeeper, found himself in hot water after a heated encounter with a Boca Juniors fan at the recent game against River Plate. The intense rivalry between the two teams resulted in a 1-0 victory for River, thanks to a goal from former West Ham star Manuel Lanzini. The game was played at Boca's renowned la Bombonera stadium, and the home fans were understandably disappointed with the loss.

As the final whistle blew, one particular fan took out his frustration on Romero, who did not take kindly to the insults. The 37-year-old got into a heated exchange with the fan, even leaning over the barrier into the stands. Security staff and substitute goalkeeper Leandro Brey had to intervene to calm the situation. However, some fans continued to hurl insults at Romero, and a few even got into physical altercations.

Romero later spoke out about the incident, expressing remorse for his actions. He apologized for his role in the ugly scenes and acknowledged that he lost his temper in the heat of the moment. He explained that the fan's insults were so severe that he couldn't ignore them, and he ended up going back to confront the fan. Romero also extended his apologies to the fan, acknowledging that he had a right to express his frustration.

Interestingly, Romero was not the only former Manchester United player on the Boca Juniors team. Edinson Cavani and Marcos Rojo were also in the starting lineup, making it a reunion of sorts for the three players. However, it has not been a smooth campaign for Boca so far, as they currently sit in 11th place in the Argentinian top flight.
