Spit and bottles were flying after the Atlético-Manchester City game! The police had to deal with it all

The return match between Atlético Madrid and Manchester City offered a lot of unpleasant events that do not belong in football. Players fought on the pitch and the match was played out in the tunnel and in the bowels of the stadium when Atleti attacked their English opponents.

Manchester City won 1: 0 at home, the second match ended in a goalless draw, so the Citizens went through to the semi-finals. Atlético Madrid are out of the Champions League, and the players have taken their elimination with great reluctance.

Already during the match, there was a rift between the players and the referee had his work cut out to calm things down. Felipe was sent off and several yellow cards were issued. Savic threw Foden around the pitch, pulled Sterling and Grealish’s hair, and called the latter an “overpaid mascot.”

Diego Simeone, Atlético’s coach, joined the players in hurling abuse in all directions. In short, the Spaniards took the elimination very badly. In the tunnel and in the bowels of the stadium, there was an unpleasant showdown, which you can watch:

Vrsaljko, who didn’t get involved at all, was very prominent in the post-match scuffle. Players were shoving each other, swearing was heard everywhere, spit and bottles were flying. The whole chaos had to be stopped by the police.

There were no reports of any serious injuries. The Atlético players now have space to calm down, while the Citizens can already prepare for the semi-final against Real Madrid.
