Last night’s match saw hand-to-hand combat, hair pulling, exchanging words, a player being sent off and even hints that City coach Pep Guardiola was thrown liquid as he headed for the tunnel. Quarrels erupted slowly in the game and in the tunnel as Atletico’s frustration over their failure to win City’s defense boiled over. The game ended in a goalless draw, enough to see the Premier League team advance to the semifinals after winning the first match. UEFA could appoint an ethics and discipline inspector to fully investigate what happened and will wait and evaluate reports of the problem from the referee and match representative. Image: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola later said he had “nothing to say” about the clashes The first major point of contention came late in the game as a hand-to-hand battle broke out when Felipe kicked out Phil Fontaine of City, whose head had also been damned in a bad previous challenge. Among the problems, Atletico defender Stefan Savic pulled the hair of the unused replacement of City, Jack Grillis, after the couple had exchanged words. Felipe was expelled for his participation. However, the problems continued after the last whistle, with the players having to separate in the tunnel. Television footage showed objects being thrown and police allegedly intervening to restore order. There were also suggestions to City coach Guardiola to throw him liquid as he headed towards the tunnel. Guardiola later said he had “nothing to say” about the problem, but added that “everyone saw the action”. UEFA action will come a few days after Atletico were hit with a partial closure of the field for the second match against City for the “discriminatory behavior” of its fans during the match in Manchester last week. This sentence was suspended a few hours before Wednesday’s match after an appeal to the Arbitration Sports Court.
