The incident broke out when City players were celebrating their triumphant victory over the league-leaders.

Evra, 42, remonstrated with Estiarte near his former team-mate Rio Ferdinand and his BT Sport colleagues.

In the video, City assistant manager can be seen holding the Frenchman by his arms and appeared to be successful in calming him down. The pair then shook hands before departing.

Evra later told CBS Sports: ‘He was looking at me, he was like ‘this is for you! This is for you!

‘So I came close and asked him why he was so agitated and he said ‘no because last year you said on TV that they [City] s*** themselves, that’s why they lose’, and this year they didn’t s*** themselves.

‘That’s the truth Micah [Richards]! You know I’m an honest man. I’m straight and after he apologised.’

Talking about the game, Bernardo Silva’s two goals in the first half gave City the upper hand.

Later, an own goal by Eder Militao and a late fourth goal from Julian Alvarez gave Pep Guardiola’s team the victory as they exacted revenge for last year’s heartbreaking semi final defeat.
