Diego Simeone explains why he shook Carlo Ancelotti's hand after snubbing Jurgen Klopp

Diego Simeone has opened up on why he warmly greeted Carlo Ancelotti during Sunday's Madrid derby - despite refusing to shake hands with Jurgen Klopp earlier this season.

Simeone led Atletico Madrid to a 1-0 victory over Real Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano with Yannick Carrasco scoring the winner from the penalty spot late in the first half. The occasion was Los Blancos' first domestic fixture since they won La Liga with a 4-0 thrashing of Espanyol the previous weekend.

Ancelotti has now lifted the league titles of the top five divisions in Europe having also triumphed in England, France, Italy and Germany. Following the derby at the weekend, the highly-acclaimed veteran received an embrace and a handshake from opposite number Simeone.
