Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone acknowledged his behavior was “unjustifiable” following his red card in a fiery Champions League clash at Anfield. After Atletico fought back from two goals down, Virgil van Dijk’s stoppage-time winner sealed a 3-2 Liverpool victory. Frustrated by relentless insults from a fan behind the technical area, Simeone confronted the supporter and was shown the red card by referee Maurizio Mariani. The Argentine manager revealed he had been subjected to insults for the full 90 minutes but accepted responsibility for his actions.
