Diego Simeone speaking to Movistar about his sending off against Liverpool:
“There is a lot of talk about taking care, but they (fans) 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 the whole time. Then you turn around, when your opponent has scored, and they are still insulting you. It is not that easy.”
"The referee understood the situation. I hope that a team like Liverpool can improve that part.
"When they identify the person who did this, it should have its consequences. But he who needs to stay calm, and take the insults, is me. In my place you just have to take it."
Been at work all day since the Jota news broke. Not long got home, checked in throughout the day seeing the updates and statements and each time I’ve been brought to tears. I have never met the man. But he was one of us. You’ll never walk alone Diogo
