Atletico Madrid vs. Manchester City: Stefan Savic instigated terrible scenes towards the end of the game.
On Tuesday, Diego Simeone's team could only manage a 0-0 tie, and therefore were eliminated.
After a 1-0 aggregate victory in the opening leg, City advanced to the semi-finals.
Savic's disgusting behavior at the end of the game tainted the contest.
Savic then pursued Grealish into the tunnel after the game and began a confrontation. After the terrible and 'disgraceful' scenes during their goalless draw with Manchester City, football supporters are clamoring for Atletico Madrid to be removed from the Champions League.After losing the first leg at the Etihad last week, the Spanish team drew 0-0 at the Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday night, putting them out of the competition 1-0 on aggregate.
The second leg, on the other hand, devoloped into chaos when former City defender Stefan Savic tracked down Jack Grealish inside the tunnel and attacked him after the final whistle. He rushed down the tunnel after City's goalless draw guaranteed a semi-final date with Real Madrid. Pep Guardiola was pelted with bottles from the bleachers.After a challenge on Phil Foden that triggered a fight in one corner of the ground, Atletico central defender Felipe was sent off.
Savic's rage broke out when Felipe's hack left the forward in a heap, and he pulled the forward back onto the pitch before seeming to headbutt Raheem Sterling.
During the brawl, Savic and Grealish exchanged words, with the former yanking Grealish's hair, but the antagonism increased in the tunnel.
