'Heart without reward': Spanish press REFUSE to condemn Atletico Madrid's disgraceful behaviour at the end of their defeat by Man City, as they fail to mention Stefan Savic's clashes with Foden, Sterling and Grealish while praising Simeone's side's effort

The Spanish media have bizarrely refused to condemn Atletico Madrid's shocking behaviour at the end of their match with Manchester City.

Wednesday night's second leg at the Wanda Metropolitano descended into chaos moments before City claimed a hard-fought goalless draw to reach the semi-finals with a 1-0 aggregate success.

The two sets of players clashed following a poor tackle from Felipe on Phil Foden, which then caused tempers to flare.
