Remember this after the first leg…?
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has apologised for any offence caused by his celebrations against Juventus, but said: “I did it from the heart.”
Simeone turned towards fans and grabbed his crotch after Jose Maria Gimenez opened the scoring in a 2-0 win.
“It’s not a nice gesture, I admit, but I felt the need to do it,” he said.
“I did it as a player at Lazio and I did it again to show our fans that we have cojones. I can only apologise if anyone was offended.”
Just looking at replays of full-time in this game and Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated by doing the same.
Ouch.
