Man City keeper Carson challenged Vrsaljko to 'fight outside'

Manchester City goalkeeper Scott Carson challenged Atletico Madrid defender Sime Vrsaljko to 'fight outside' during Wednesday night's brawl.

Images of the teams clashing in the tunnel after the match appear to show City's back-up keeper gesturing for Vrsaljko to meet him face-to-face and away from the melee, reports The Sun.

The former England international, 36, points his finger away from the crowd while staring at the Croatia star, 30.

Vrsaljko and fellow Atleti defender Stefan Savic were the main culprits as it kicked off at the end of the quarter-final clash.

Montenegro star Savic had an angry confrontation with City sub Jack Grealish at the end of the match after appearingto headbutt Raheem Sterling.

Images show Atletico players and staff restraining Vrsaljko as he attempts to confront Carson.
