But he was a bit too overzealous and pushed the youngster backwards over the hoardings with the onlooking fans outraged.

The Roma players were also angered by the incident and fiery exchanges began between the two sets of players with just 10 minutes remaining.

The incident came just a minute after defender Ivan Ordets was sent off for hauling down Edin Dzeko.

Ferreyra was booked for the incident as they were knocked out of the Champions League on away goals.
