This is one of the reasons why going to a South American pitch as a fan is such a risky experience.
During the first leg of the Copa Libertadores' Round of 16 matchup between Racing Club and Atlético Mineiro, former Real Madrid wingman Robinho was involved in what turned out to be a not so elegant incident.
As the Brazilian player prepared to take a corner kick, fans started throwing objects to annoy the former Man City footballer, but one of those objects hit him on the shoulder, causing the game to stop for a few minutes.

Argentinean fans took the rivalry between their country and Brazil to a nasty edge, and the return leg might not be as easy for their club. The game ended with a goal-less draw, and the second leg will take place on May 4th.
