PATRICE EVRA clashed with Manchester City staff following their Champions League semi-final over Real Madrid.
The former Manchester United star was at the Etihad in a professional capacity working as a pundit.

The incident occurred as City players carried out a lap of honour after defeating reigning champions Real 4-0, winning 5-1 on aggregate.
Evra, 42, was incredibly animated as he remonstrated with Estiarte just metres from his former team-mate Rio Ferdinand and his BT Sport colleagues.

The City boss held the Frenchman by his arms and appeared to be successful in calming him down.
