Liam Gallagher has been forced to make a grovelling apology after issuing a death threat to Stefan Savic in a bizarre tweet where he labelled the Atletico Madrid defender a "goofy c***".The former Oasis frontman posted the tweet a day after Manchester City knocked Atletico out of the Champions League to progress to the semi-finals.Savic, who played for City briefly back in 2011/12, made the headlines after inciting a brawl between the two sides in the closing stages of the match following an ugly altercation with Phil Foden, before going on to headbutt Raheem Sterling and pull Jack Grealish's hair.Gallagher, who is a massive City fan, wrote: "Stefan Savic this is a threat if I come across you ya goofy looking C*** your dead MCFC," before deleting the tweet the following morning after a furious backlash."We all say things we shouldn’t every now and again I am guilty of that he who without sin fire away ya bumbaclart JC," the 49-year-old wrote on Friday.A few minutes later he posted again, saying: "I'm really upset and annoyed at myself I feel I’ve let all my fans down by my outlandish behaviour I’m a role model to GROWN UPS hope you can forgive me."Simple question - Liam or Noel? Let us know which Gallagher you prefer and why in the comments section belowThe drama on Wednesday night spilled out into the tunnel after the game amid reports that Savic and Grealish had to be forcefully separated by police.Bottles were also thrown at City boss Pep Guardiola by angry fans, completely marring what had otherwise been an entertaining night of European football.The game ended 0-0, meaning City advance to the Champions League semi-finals where they'll face Real Madrid for a place in the final against either Liverpool or Villarreal.

Jack Grealish has been given a fitting new nickname by some of his Manchester City team-mates after getting into a couple of scraps with Atletico Madrid star Stefan Savic.Pep Guardiola's side squeezed into the Champions League semi-finals following a tense 0-0 draw at the Wanda Metropolitano last night, but their nerves were tested in the closing stages when handbags broke out between the two sides.Savic instigated it all after trying to drag Phil Foden to his feet after the Englishman was hauled to the ground by Felipe, before later butting heads with Raheem Sterling and tugging at Grealish's Gucci-insured hair.Grealish and Savic would later clash in the tunnel after the game before reportedly being separated by police officers as tensions boiled over from their bitter feud which began during the first-leg last week.According to The Mirror, Savic told Grealish: "I'll have you in Madrid" after the two came to blows at the Etihad Stadium, to which the £100 million midfielder responded saying he was looking forward to the second-leg and wasn't afraid of anyone.And after methodically getting under Savic's skin again last night, some of the City players have started calling Grealish 'Peaky Jack', in reference to the TV show Peaky Blinders, which is based around a street gang in the former Aston Villa man's hometown, Birmingham.Is Jack Grealish the biggest s***house in the Premier League right now?

Atletico Madrid’s players in their Champions League quarter-final defeat by Manchester City was “embarrassing”, according to Rio Ferdinand.City progressed to the semi-finals of the competition 1-0 on aggregate after holding Atleti to a 0-0 draw in the Spanish capital on Wednesday night.
