“I felt very bad, I was heartbroken, my cardiac rhythm was altered and my relatives took me to the emergency room at the hospital. I was surrounded by my grandchildren who were crying a lot.”

Colombian lawyer Aurelio Jimenez is suing FIFA for €1billion, claiming refereeing decisions at the World Cup caused his cardiac problems.
