"I played Champions League": Gago's exchange with a linesman in U. of Chile's draw

U. de Chile's Copa de la Liga campaign ended in disappointment following a 1-1 draw with Audax Italiano on Sunday, a result that saw the team eliminated from the competition. The match was marked by a heated exchange between U. de Chile's coach, Fernando Gago, and a linesman.

Reports emerged detailing a verbal confrontation between Gago and linesman Claudio Urrutia. According to sources, the Argentine coach asserted his authority by stating, "You have to listen to me, I played in the Champions League." This remark was met with a dismissive response from the official.

The linesman, Claudio Urrutia, reportedly retorted, "I don't hear you, I don't buy it," effectively shutting down Gago's attempt to leverage his past playing experience. The incident highlights the intense emotions and pressures present in professional football, particularly during crucial matches where teams face elimination.

The report comes from Maxi Videla at Cooperativa Deportes, underscoring the post-match fallout from U. de Chile's elimination.
