Atletico Madrid "should be embarrassed" as Man City clash descends into chaos

Manchester City and Atletico Madrid's Champions League quarter-final second leg descend into chaos after former Citizens defender Stefan Savic sparked a mass brawl by dragging an injured Phil Foden off the pitch.

Foden had been cynically brought down by Felipe in the dying embers at the Wanda Metropolitano, with the score still 1-0 to City on aggregate after their first-leg win last week. With the England international rolling around in pain, Savic darted over and manhandled him in an attempt to get him off the pitch.

His actions sparked a scrap involving players and coaching staff, with German referee Daniel Siebert handing Savic a yellow card and giving fellow Atletico centre-back Felipe his marching orders for a second booking. The Brazilian had been lucky not to see yellow for a tackle on Foden early in the first half but still left the field fuming. Savic then clashed with Jack Grealish down the tunnel after full-time, having pulled his hair during the brawl.
