VALENCIA, Spain, March 6 (Reuters) - Valencia's Champions League victory over Inter Milan on Tuesday was marred by a mass brawl at the final whistle in which the Italian side's Argentine midfielder Nicolas Burdisso suffered a broken nose.

Valencia, who drew 2-2 in the first leg, clinched a place in the quarter-finals on the away goals rule after holding Inter to a 0-0 draw at the Mestalla.

But tempers flared at the final whistle with Valencia midfielder Carlos Marchena kicking out at Burdisso after exchanging words with the Argentine.

The incident sparked the brawl and Valencia substitute David Navarro, who had not featured in the match, ran on to the middle of the pitch and punched Burdisso who fell to the ground.

Several Inter players tried to trip up Navarro as he ran off the pitch and the fighting continued in the tunnel.

Inter goalkeeper Francesco Toldo entered the Valencia dressing room, while Luis Figo and Inter's Esteban Cambiasso were involved in scuffles as they tried to follow him with security guards having to intervene.

Local media reported that Navarro was ushered away from the stadium.

Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini said he was deeply disappointed by the incident.

'A Valencia player went mad when he came on to the pitch and hit Burdisso,' said Mancini. 'He broke Burdisso's nose.

'Toldo saw the incident and it is possible he went into the Valencia dressing room.

'Players have to learn how to behave on the pitch.'

Valencia striker David Villa said it was a shame to have ended the game in such disappointing fashion.

'It was unnecessary, it was ugly and sad,' the Spanish international told reporters. 'At such times when emotions are running high there are some people who don't know how to control themselves.'

How funny is it that the soccer players can fight like they do in these cases but when they get a tiny little tap during a game they go down like a sack of spuds 

[Stormwarning[c]]

Tigger the only difference I can see is in a brawl you are expecting something....anything to come your way, but I don't know if you have ever walked into a toe bar when you didn't expect one to be there but a kick to the shins when your not expecting it does sting and come as a surprise just like walking into a toe bar.

Although there are some that would come close to a gold medal on the 10 meter platform.

[Tigger]

Ahhh you know exactly what I was talking about tho SW - the academy award performances that some players put on when they haven't really been hurt at all. 
And yes, I have walked into a tow ball before, also a wall, and a door once.................

[Stormwarning[c]]

I wont ask about the Wall or Door

Good win by the Scousers and a good result for the Germans this morning.
