Diego Simeone always stood out with his emotionalism - an exception was not made even in the match against Turin's "Juventus" team.
In Madrid, "Atletico" at home after a fierce battle defeated one of the tournament favorites "Juventus" with a score of 2:0. The unexpected duo led the "rojiblancos" to victory - both goals were scored by the central defender pair: Diego Godin and Jose Gimenez.
D. Simeone, after J. Gimenez's precise strike, turned to the stands and showed to the fans that his team has something special.
"Goal celebration? I did that while playing for 'Lazio' and 'Bologna', I did it now wanting to show the fans that we have 'cojones' (balls - edit.). It wasn't intended for the opponents, it was a message to our fans," - said D. Simeone.
"It's not the most beautiful gesture, I have to admit, but at that moment I felt I had to do it. It was a very tough match, we worked hard and a lot. The same Diego Costa gave everything, even though not 100% ready. I just showed what I felt at that moment.
I apologize if I offended anyone, but I really celebrated that goal from all my heart," - said the charismatic coach.
