Police were seen trying to separate and intervene as the players went to their respective dressing rooms.
Atletico Madrid captain, Koke Merodio, spoke to the press noting that the Manchester City players started time-wasting tactics in the match which annoyed them.
“The game takes you to that madness when you see that you have chances and they throw themselves on the ground and lose time. They criticise us for that many times and let's see what people think of it today,” Koke noted
On his part Man City centre back, John Stones, noted that his side was ready for such a scenario adding that they handled it well.
“It’s not nice to talk about that, I don’t want to dwell on it too much because over two legs I think we played incredibly against such an experienced team in what they do, in such a low block.
“I’m so proud of the team today, on how we kept control and our tempers. It’s so easy to get drawn in, so happy to be through, great night,” Stones noted.
Manchester City will now face off with Spanish giants Real Madrid in a two-legged semi-final on April 26 and May 4.
