The Sterling incident was the crux of Colombia's antics, and Raheem Sterling has spoken about what went through his mind in that moment.
"I just remember running in and someone stepped in front of me," Sterling said.
“I just kinda looked back at him. But we knew their game plan and what they were trying to do. We knew what would get thrown at us and that was kinda silly from him," he added.

“Before the tournament the manager gave us everything that could be thrown at us – every possibility from going behind to the opposition trying to get you yellow or red cards. I just tried to get on the ball as much as possible and to get behind them as well."
Sterling displayed a maturity beyond his years to not react to the barge, as did the whole team as they kept relatively cool heads in the most high pressure atmosphere most of them will have experienced on a football pitch.Liverpool ‘make decision’ on sacking Arne Slot
