Diego Simeone's 'regret' over clash with Liverpool fans at Anfield after Atletico Madrid boss reacts to 'insults'

Diego Simeone's 'regret' over clash with Liverpool fans at Anfield after Atletico Madrid boss reacts to 'insults'

Atletico boss Diego Simeone: “They were shouting insults through the whole game from behind the bench and I cannot say anything as I am a coach. Obviously my reaction is not justifiable, I insulted him. But it was 90 minutes of being insulted. It is not that easy.”

Stewards had to intervene in the flashpoint before Simeone was sent off by referee Maurizio Mariani.

"Obviously my reaction is not justifiable, I insulted him. But it was 90 minutes of being insulted the whole time then you turn around, when your opponent has scored, and they are still insulting you. It is not that easy.

"I am not really going to get into the exact nature of the insults. I don't want to get into that discussion. I know what went on behind the manager's bench. I cannot solve society's problems in one press conference. I have to live with it because it happens all the time."
