Diego Simeone appears to have taken a swipe at Pep Guardiola in the wake of Atletico Madrid's unsightly Champions League elimination by Manchester City, insisting that people who 'talk really well' can 'praise you with contempt'.
Atletico crashed out of the quarter-finals last night after losing 1-0 on aggregate following their goalless draw at the Wanda Metropolitano, but the showdown was overshadowed by a large fracas breaking out between both teams.
The tensions even continued into the tunnel at full-time, with the extraordinary moment several heated players exchanged insults caught on camera.
