The Fiorentina captain was injured in the 32nd minute of the final against West Ham and was treated and bandaged to his head before restarting
Fiorentina-West Ham started just over 32 minutes ago. Cristiano Biraghi approaches the left-hand flag to take a corner and is hit on the head by a plastic cup and possibly also by a lighter or e-cigarette thrown by England fans. Biraghi applauds and doesn’t realize that the object has caused him a wound, with abundant and showy blood flowing into the back left part of the head.
The purple captain is rescued by doctors who suture the wound and apply a turban of purple bandages. Referee Del Cerro Grande picked up the glass and together with the lighter (or electronic cigarette) and handed everything over to the match stewards. A few seconds before the accident in Biraghi, teammate Nico Gonzalez had caught one of the glasses thrown by the English on the pitch, mimicking the gesture of drinking the contents.
