Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone has vehemently declared his ‘no handshake’ decision with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp in Tuesday night’s UEFA Champions League.
The Reds claimed a narrow 3-2 win over the Spanish champions at the latter’s Wanda Metropolitano and Simeone defended that when he spoke with the media afterwards.
Mohamed Salah scored a 78th-minute penalty while Antoine Griezmann was sent off in the contest for a foul he committed in the vital area.
Griezmann had scored a grace to cancel the opening 13 minutes strikes from the boots of Salah and Naby Keita.
“I don’t always greet (the other manager) after the game because I don’t like it,’ Simeone told reporters when asked about the incident at his post-match press conference.
‘It’s not healthy for either the winner or the loser. I think of it that way.
‘But now, when I see him, I’ll greet him without a problem.’
The game’s outcome saw Liverpool open up a five-point lead over the La Liga champions at the top of the group, but Simeone’s extraordinary behaviour at the full-time whistle dominated discussion after the game.
