• Chronicle Atlético dies with honor in the Metropolitan

• The clause Who's the coward?

• M.City The night Guardiola wasn't Guardiola and the resource of wasting time: "I have nothing to say"

The scene led to embarrassment and only the intervention of police officers prevented a major disaster.

On the way to the locker room, after the final whistle, the players from Atlético and Manchester City got into a brawl that should not go unnoticed by UEFA.

Among the protagonists,

, capable of dirtying his fantastic performance with an inappropriate aggressiveness against

.

A few steps behind,

, without minutes all night, threw a small object at his opponents.

And Atlético's assistant technicians still had to contain the Croatian winger, absolutely out of his mind.

Only a week ago, Vrsaljko had already had it out with Grealish at the Stadium of Manchester, although nothing foreshadowed a scandal of this magnitude.

Of course, the echoes reached the press conference, where

refused, up to three times, to comment on what happened.

, so itchy by the defeat as stung by the Spanish coach, could not shed light either.

«I did not see it, because I was receiving the support of the public.

When I went up the stairs there was no one there », he settled.

And when they questioned him about his ironic applause towards the

, wanted to deny the evidence, before a smile gave him away.

What does seem certain is that their players had not known how to digest the rival's continuous loss of time.

.

The red heralded another scuffle and even Guardiola left the technical area.

The nine added minutes were only the death rattle for this rojiblanca Champions League, where Atlético had plenty of courage and lacked football.

Not a single victory in four games in front of their fans.

It is never easy to administer such a surplus of adrenaline.

More on these nights, in which the team's plan is usually soaked in the enthusiasm of its stands.

When

lost a ball in minute 5, Simeone went crazy as if the fate of the tie depended on that trifle.

Not only did he let his bench know, but the Portuguese himself who, far from withdrawing his gaze, responded with a bad temper.

It was bad for anyone who disdained his creative capacity, the only handle to which the rojiblanco feeling could cling.

This Atlético is nourished by extreme passions, capable of assimilating a guy as unique as Felipe as one of his own.

With an elbow out of place, the Portuguese caused a small gap to Foden, cowered since then like a fry.

The midfielder even managed to inspire tenderness fleeing Felipe's shaky presence in the 40th minute. The night could not end well for the defender.

It was obvious.
