Awkward moment: How dog pooed on football pitch; interrupted Partizan Belgrade’s Europa duel

Partizan Belgrade’s Europa Conference League clash had an unwanted visitor as a dog trotted onto the pitch and pooed on the grass.

As the Serbian side warmed up for their game against Cypriot outfit Arnothosis Famagusta, the dog left a nasty surprise in the middle of the pitch.

At one point in the video the dog looks directly into the camera, before quickly turning away, almost as if it knew exactly what it was doing, according to The Sun report.

And once its business was done the cute canine trotted off to leave somebody else to clean up its mess.

Predictably football fans on social media absolutely loved it, with some hilarious tongue-in-cheek puns in reference to the Europa Conference League.

One joked: “Added to the quality of the competition.”

While another said: “What a great representation of the Europa Conference League.”

The video certainly tickled those that saw it, as another giggled: “This could be the greatest video I’ve ever seen.”

It meant the Serbian side qualified for the knockout stages of the competition behind Belgian side Gent, and ahead of Thursday night’s opponents.

They could end up facing Tottenham in the latter stages of the competition if Antonio Conte’s side progresses from their do-or-die clash against Rennes.
