The coach’s reaction to his dismissal.
In the first match of the UEFA Champions League, Atlético Madrid lost 2–3 to Liverpool, and coach Diego Simeone was sent off after arguing with a fan. He discussed the red card after the game.
Details: At the post-match press conference, Atlético’s head coach said football should combat both racism and verbal abuse. He emphasized that he is a good person.
Quote: “Just as we fight hard against racism, we could also fight against insults. I am a good person,” Simeone said.
Atlético Madrid also recorded an unwanted Champions League milestone in this match. In their group stage opener against Liverpool, Simeone’s team allowed two goals within the first six minutes, marking the first time this has occurred during his time as coach.
Reminder: Three Premier League teams defeated three La Liga teams in the same round of the Champions League.
