Summary: Manchester City and Liverpool parted ways in a fascinating 2-2 draw in the game of the season in England (Sport 1)

The rematch between Atletico Madrid and Manchester City did not yield any goals, but it certainly caused a stir.

The clashes between the players on the pitch and then also in the locker rooms, provoked angry reactions, especially in England where they accused Atletico Madrid of "disgraceful behavior".

"I have never seen anything like this in my life. This is degrading, disgusting behavior. Atletico are probably the dirtiest team in the whole world, they should be ashamed," said Rio Ferdinand.

Julian Lescott also criticized Diego Simeone, who contributed to the violent atmosphere by applauding contemptuously every time a Manchester City player lay down on the pitch and supposedly wasted time.

"The last ten minutes have been unbearable. These are pictures that should not be seen when it comes to a senior coach and a world-class team," he said.

On the other hand, in Spain, too, there was harsh criticism of Manchester City, who were accused of hypocrisy.

Before and between games Pep Guardiola and the English media boasted of their more enjoyable style of play, so to speak, but in yesterday's game they did not resort to any means to maintain the result.

"In the end, all the coaches do what Simeone does. Pep Guardiola 'did Atletico' and made his players waste time, and he has no reason to apologize for that. Anything else he says is hypocrisy," Marca noted.
