After Atletico Madrid's 3-2 Champions League loss to Liverpool, Diego
Simeone justified his refusal to shake Jurgen Klopp's hand. 'It's not beneficial for either the
winner or the loser,' he claimed.
Mohamed Salah and Naby Keita scored in quick succession to put Liverpool 2-0 after 13 minutes. Before halftime, Antoine Griezmann's double restored parity. However, early in the second half, the Frenchman was sent off for slamming his studs into Roberto Firmino's face, giving the visitors a numerical advantage.
After pulling down Diogo Jota inside the area, Miguel Hermoso conceded a penalty, which Salah converted from 12 yards to restore Liverpool's lead on the night.
Just four minutes later, Los Rojiblancos appeared to have earned a penalty when Jose Gimenez went down under pressure from Roberto Firmino. Referee Daniel Siebert pointed to the spot, but after analyzing the incident on the pitchside monitor, he rejected the ruling.
Liverpool now leads Atletico Madrid by five points at the top of the group. Klopp was upset by his opponent, having previously declared that he loathed Atletico Madrid's style of play. Simeone's strange actions after the final whistle, on the other hand, dominated the post-match discussion. It happened after Simeone turned refused a traditional handshake in favour of sprinting down the tunnel.
On the other hand, Klopp stated after the game that he was not unhappy since he understood Simeone's reaction after such a tight game.
