We as a small club can not stand with a hat in hand and accept such behaviour,” a statement from the Norwegian side said.

/> “Roma is bombarding the media with untruths, in an attempt to hide the unsportsmanlike behaviour. Glimt knows that there is a video of the incident, which shows the attack on Knutsen from representatives of Rome's support apparatus. The club has seen this video.

We demand that the public have access to this video owned by UEFA.” Team general manager Frode Thomassen added “Glimt sees no other choice than to report Nuno Santos to the police on the basis of the physical attack on Kjetil Knutsen. It is completely untenable with such behaviour. «This is a systematic provocation, manipulation and finally the exercise of physical violence against Kjetil Knutsen.
