Uefa’s disciplinary panel is set to launch an investigation into the tunnel bust-up between Manchester City and Atlético Madrid and on-pitch clashes
Footage from inside the tunnel – shown on TV – appeared to show Atlético’s defender Sime Vrsaljko hurling an object at City players and spitting at City staff. That took place after Stefan Savic and Jack Grealish confronted each other as police rushed in to intervene.
Uefa Control, Ethics, and Disciplinary Body will also examine what happened after Felipe committed the foul on Phil Foden for which he was sent off as City clung on for a goalless draw to reach thesemi-finals with a 1-0 aggregate victory. Savic appeared to pull at Grealish’s hair – after being sworn at by the England international – and direct a butt at Raheem Sterling.
Both men are under investigation for “conduct is insulting or otherwise violates the basic rules of decent conduct” and face suspensions of up to five Uefa competition matches if found guilty.Download the Guardian app from the iOS App Store on iPhones or the Google Play store on Android phones by searching for 'The Guardian'.In the Guardian app, tap the yellow button at the bottom right, then go to Settings , then Notifications.
