Diego Simeone has explained why he snubbed the handshake of Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp when the sides met in the Champions League earlier in the season, but warmly greeted Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti on Sunday in the Madrid derby.
Atletico Madrid beat the newly-crowned La Liga champions 1-0 in the Wanda Metropolitano, but perhaps the most surprising event of the night was the warm embrace Simeone gave the veteran Ancelotti after the match had ended.
During two ill-tempered group stage clashes in the Champions League ended in Liverpool winning 3-2 in Spain and 2-0 at Anfield with Simeone deciding not to shake Klopp's post-match. The German boss described the behaviour as 'not cool'.
