Keita later confirmed he had been struck in the temple, saying: “I am shocked and angry. It is awful that something like this could happen. I just saw that someone was behind me. I ran and then stopped because I thought he was gone.

"Then I was in shock and didn’t understand what had happened. I didn’t hear him say anything. It is sad that someone can do something like that and ruin an evening. It is a sad day for football. But football is bigger than these idiots.

“I was a bit dizzy but now I am fine. I am going with the rest of the team to the hotel and go to bed. The police asked if I wanted to go to hospital but I don’t like hospitals,” he told Aftonbladet.
