exaggeration

"clattered, fell to the ground unconscious, with damaged vertebrae and teeth knocked out, later slipping into a coma. Emergency medics had to administer oxygen on the pitch.[1] Michel Platini later said that he thought that Battiston was dead, because "he had no pulse and looked pale"- Isn't this a bit of an exaggeration? Battiston continued to play in the years to come. The wording makes one think that Shumacher nearly killed him, when in fact this was simply a very bad foul the referee missed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.173.255.83 (talk) 11:09, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I absolutely agree, this should be deleted or at least completely rephrased.(213.10.46.8 (talk) 21:44, 15 July 2010 (UTC))[reply]

I don't agree at all, in 2012 Battiston declared after this incident he had headaches during 25 years and he became insomniac... Moreover, the fact that Platini thought he was dead is true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.61.174.198 (talk) 19:20, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
