SAVIC MOMENTS: Atletico Madrid and Man City scrap continues in tunnel as Stefan Savic pursues Jack Grealish after pulling his hair

There were more ugly scenes in the aftermath of Man City’s tie against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

In a heated contest in the Wanda Metropolitano, Pep Guardiola’s side held on for a goalless draw to book their place in the last four of the competition with a 1-0 win on aggregate.

But the talking point of the match will no doubt be a mass brawl in the dying moments as Diego Simeone and his men lost their rag.

“From what we’ve seen here, this is handbags, I think I’ve never been in a tunnel where it’s been like this,” Ferdinand said.

“It either goes off, or nothing happens.”

Lescott added: “There’s no real intent to fight, I wouldn’t even say handbags, its a fake reaction to the result.”

Then, things spilled over into the tunnel at full-time as the centre-back was seen pursuing Grealish.

The England man could be seen exchanging words with Savic, who was shouting in his direction.

There would be further drama as an animated Sime Vrsalkjo appeared to throw an object at the City players, while BT Sport reported that police had to intervene.

But as BT Sport gathered, after seeing the footage, Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand gave his thoughts on the situation, while ex-City man Joleon Lescott said the reaction was ‘fake’.

“From what we’ve seen here, this is handbags, I think I’ve never been in a tunnel where it’s been like this,” Ferdinand said.

“It either goes off, or nothing happens.”

Lescott added: “There’s no real intent to fight, I wouldn’t even say handbags, its a fake reaction to the result.”
