During last night's intense Champions League semi-final match between the teams "Atletico" and "Bayern", Diego Simeone struggled to contain his emotions, while football fans mostly noticed the behavior of the impassioned Argentine during extra time.
While "Atletico" was trailing 1-2 and the opponents were leading only by a goal due to an away goal, during extra time Simeone decided to send defender Stefan Savic off the field. However, the team representative did not manage to submit the substitution to the fourth official in time, and the game continued. The enraged Simeone then struck Pedro Pablo Matesanz on the shoulder and verbally abused him. The "Atletico" representative appeared visibly lost after such actions by the team's coach, and internet users began to speculate whether Simeone could face disqualification for this behavior, which would force him to miss the final match.
By the way, Simeone cannot be on the team's bench during the last Spanish championship match, as he was punished with a three-game suspension for kicking the ball onto the field during opponents' attack.
