UEFA has started an investigation into Diego Simeone's gesture shown during the match between Madrid's "Atletico" and Turin's "Juventus". The Argentine, after his team scored a goal, turned to the stands and grabbed his "privates". As the specialist himself claimed, with this gesture he did not intend to offend the opponents, but rather wanted to show that his team, playing great matches, has something in their pants. "Goal celebration? I did that when I was a player in the match between 'Lazio' and 'Bologna', I did it now to show the fans that we have cojones (balls – ed.). It wasn't meant for the opponents, it was a message to our fans. "It's not the most beautiful gesture, but at that moment I felt I had to do it. Those were very tough matches, we worked hard and a lot. The same Diego Costa gave his all, even though he wasn't ready a hundred percent. I just showed what I felt at that moment. "I apologize if I offended anyone, but that goal celebration was really from the bottom of my heart," – commented D. Simeone on the situation after the match. The coach surely won't have to watch the next match from the stands, but UEFA could impose a financial penalty or just a warning.
