From The Field To The Dressing Room, The Noise Of Atletico And City Players Until The Police Handle It

JAKARTA - The hot tension in the Atletico Madrid vs Manchester City match did not only occur on the field. The commotion even continued to the locker room until the police intervened.

Atletico Madrid's meeting with Manchester City took place at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in the second leg of the 2021/2022 Champions League quarter-finals. In the match on Thursday, April 14, the game was actually running normally.

However, before the second half's normal time was up, a riot started. It started when Man City's Phil Foden was dragged by Atletico defender Stefan Savic off the pitch. The Man City players then arrived and the action of pushing each other between the players of the two teams was inevitable.

Savic was even involved in pushing each other with Nathan Ake and not long after he was caught grabbing Jack Grealish's hair. The commotion between the players of the two teams even lasted quite a while.

Quoted from Sportbible, the match was continued until the referee blew the long whistle after the end of 12 minutes of injury time. However, the end of the match did not end the friction between Atletico and Man City players.

The same source said the hot situation continued. There was even a commotion in the dressing room hallway.

From the video footage circulating on social media, it can be seen that Savic is still arguing with Grealish and Sime Vrsaljko arguing with one of the Man City players.

This commotion even made some police officers intervene. The stadium security also entered the locker room.

This was done as an effort to direct The Citizens players into the team's dressing room. There was also a shoving action between the police, players and Man City officials.

Atletico itself as the host must be tolerant of the result that their steps were stopped in the quarter-finals. Because, even though the match ended in a 0-0 draw, City had the right to advance to the semifinals because they were 1-0 up on aggregate after they won the first leg.
