THERE were chaotic scenes in the tunnel at the end of Atletico Madrid’s tie with Manchester City as Šime Vrsaljko tried to start a fight.

But that did not stop him from throwing goalkeeper gloves at a City staff member before appearing to spit in the direction of Kyle Walker.
The two squads were separated by a handrail as they walked up the stairs of the Wanda Metropolitano tunnel towards the changing rooms.
But Vrsaljko did everything in his power to get at Aymeric Laporte and Walker, who was infuriated by the throw of the gloves.
The Atletico right-back completely lost his cool however, gesturing aggressively and possibly spitting when he reached the top of the stairs.

Savic pulled the same trick on Grealish towards the end of the second leg and the pair also clashed in the tunnel.
