During the skirmish, Savic headbutted Raheem Sterling for no reason and also pulled Jack Grealish by the hair after an X-rated outburst by the former Aston Villa playmaker.
Amazingly, the Atletico defender only received a yellow card, despite the fact VAR was in operation.
Savic continued his feud with Grealish in the tunnel after the full-time whistle had been blown, although it was Sime Vrsaljko who caused the most trouble as the two teams left the pitch.
