Atletico vs Man City: Chaos as Stefan Savic clashes with Jack Grealish

Atletico Madrid vs Manchester City wasn’t exactly lacking in needle.

The stylistic clash between Diego Simeone and Pep Guardiola was also going to be a fascinating watch, but nobody quite expected the cocktail of defensive grit and tiki-taka passing to be quite so explosive.

But alas, things became very heated between the two sides as Atletico still trailed their Premier League opponents 1-0 on aggregate going into the final minutes at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.

Guardiola was clearly feeling the pressure as he side held on for dear life in the Spanish capital, but any hope of Los Rojiblancos snatching an equaliser were surely extinguished by a late fracas.

With Felipe having wiped out Phil Foden for the second time in the game, the first incident leaving the City star with a bandaged head, the closing moments culminated in what was essentially a 20-man scuffle.

In chaotic scenes that were, frankly, hard to keep track of, Felipe was eventually given a red card for his second booking of the game, while Stefan Savic was also at the centre of attention for losing his cool.

The former City man even faced accusations of pulling Jack Grealish’s hair amidst the chaos, ultimately leading to a yellow card. Be sure to check out all the carnage that took place down below:

Did Felipe deserve a red card for this challenge against Foden?
