Atletico player tries to headbutt Kyle Walker & throws object at Man City staff

Kyle Walker had to be dragged away by his Manchester City teammates after an angry confrontation in the tunnel with Atletico Madrid defender Sime Vrsaljko, who tried to do a bizarre headbutt.

The Premier League champions booked their passage into the semi-final of the Champions League after a goalless draw at the Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday evening, having taken a 1-0 first-leg lead to the Spanish capital.

But the match was overshadowed in the dying embers of the game when Atletico instigated a massive melee which continued into the tunnel.

Phil Foden was fouled by Felipe but Stefan Savic felt the England international was milking it and screamed in his face before trying to drag him up off the ground, prompting other City players to rush over and defend their teammate.

Savic then squared up to Raheem Sterling, butting his head into the City man, before grabbing Jack Grealish’s hair and pulling it – with the two players continuing their confrontation at the tunnel entrance after the match.

But they were not the only players to be involved in a post-match scuffle, with Vrsaljko – who was an unused substitute in the match – trying to pick a fight with half the City team.
