Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone expressed his emotions following the team's dramatic penalty shootout victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League round-of-16 on Wednesday. Simeone admitted that he couldn't bear to watch the shootout unfold, a sentiment stemming from past experiences with penalties, notably the 2016 Champions League final loss to Real Madrid.
The match saw Federico Dimarco give Inter an early lead before Antoine Griezmann equalized, and a late goal from Atletico substitute Memphis Depay forced extra time. The game ultimately went to penalties, where Inter's Lautaro Martínez missed the decisive spot-kick, sending Atletico through to the quarterfinals.
