KUALA LUMPUR: The Champions League clash between Barcelona and Manchester United early yesterday took place in Rome but one casualty was reported thousands of kilometres away outside a restaurant in Pudu Ulu here.
Radzeley, a member of the rap group Embassy 47, was at Restaurant MZ Pudu with his brothers and friends to watch the game.
It was learnt that during the match, Radzeley's group, which comprised supporters from both sides, traded insults with each other.
"We were kidding among ourselves," said Radzeley at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre here, yesterday.
"As we were walking to our cars later, eight men armed with parang suddenly appeared, shouting at us."
Radzeley said the men circled him before the attack.
"I could not do anything as I was unarmed," Radzeley said, adding that his friends tried to help but was warned by the assailants to stay away.
The men then ran towards their motorcycles and a Proton Satria. Radzeley and his friends gave chase when they noticed that the car had stalled and the occupants had got out to push it.
"When they saw us approaching, they abandoned the car and fled into some bushes nearby."
Radzeley said he felt weak and only then realised that he was bleeding from his head and hands. His friends rushed him to UKMMC, where he received stitches for numerous slash wounds on his head and hands.
"I remember their faces as they sat at the table next to us in the restaurant. It was only a game. If they were disappointed that Man United lost, they should have taken it up with the team, not me.
"I'm happy Barcelona won but angry with the assailants. They spoiled a pleasant day."
Cheras police chief Assistant Commissioner Ahmad Amir Mohd Hashim said they had identified the owner of the Proton Satria.
"We are now tracking him down and the rest of his friends involved in the attack."
