There was chaos after Algeria’s exit, with the media zone turning into a battleground and Luca Zidane losing his calmness.
Algeria’s disappointment sparked tense scenes after the final whistle. What should have been a routine moment for interviews quickly turned into disorder, as emotions ran high among players and staff.
The media area became the centre of the trouble. Journalists and team members were drawn into a heated atmosphere, with pushing and shouting reported as tempers flared. The situation escalated to the point where security had to step in to restore order.
Luca Zidane, normally composed, was one of the main figures in the aftermath. Witnesses said he reacted angrily during the chaos and was clearly frustrated as the confrontation unfolded around the media zone.
It was revealed that the tension did not start inside the dressing room, but spilled over in the mixed zone as soon as Algeria’s elimination was confirmed. The disorder overshadowed the sporting story and left a sour end to the evening.
Further details about the incident were not officially confirmed, but the scenes underlined how quickly a painful exit can turn into an explosive situation away from the pitch.
