And when the game was over, there were a lot of players and staff standing between Vinicius Jr. and Simeone to calm them down.

These two seemed to have had a conversation during the game, during which Vinicius used his hands to show “seven” to the Atletico boss.

Simeone made the same move in response, but he also seemed to yell something back at the Brazilian.

After the exciting match, the Argentine was naturally asked about what happened, but he played down their angry, popular comments.

He also said, “When you’re in charge of the game, you don’t always have to force the play.”

“We have young people who are very good and who try.” There are times, though, when pushing the play isn’t useful.
