Here’s what the user who captured the whole incident said : Following Liverpool’s narrow 3-4 defeat against Bayern Munich, a passionate but disgruntled Liverpool fan caused a major disturbance at the Stadium MRT station. The fan’s evident frustration with the match result led to a series of aggressive and unacceptable actions, affecting fellow supporters and commuters alike.
Eyewitnesses reported that the fan attempted to provoke a fight with another Liverpool supporter at the gantry area of the station. His outburst didn’t end there, as he continued his rant on the train, verbally attacking two Bayern Munich fans with vulgar words, creating an uncomfortable and tense atmosphere.
