Liverpool vs Atletico LIVE: Diego Simeone explains handshake snub
While speaking at the pre-match press conference, Diego Simeone explained why he did not shake hands with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.
“I don’t like the greeting after the match because they are the emotions of two sides in different emotional minds,” he said. “I know in the UK it is a custom but I don’t share it and I don’t like the falseness it may include.”
The handshake gesture is common in football as coaches usually shake their counterparts’ hands irrespective of the result. Nonetheless, this game was also harmed by debate as Antoine Griezmann was sent off in the 2nd half. Griezmann scored both the goals for Atletico but the match ended 3-2 with Mohamed Salah scoring the winning penalty for the Reds.

Despite the ignited tensions on the touchline, Jurgen Klopp admitted that he has the highest respect for his Argentine opponent irrespective of whether or not they shake hands post-match.
The German manager said, “I respect a lot what he’s doing. Absolutely exceptional against a lot of strong sides year after year, really impressive. If I’d known he didn’t do it, I wouldn’t have gone for it. I expect we will shake hands before the game tomorrow.”
