Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone, who lost to Arsenal in the Champions League semi-final, has found himself at the center of a controversy. After the second leg in London, the Argentine manager walked over the Arsenal club crest in the tunnel while leaving the pitch. This was reported by Goal.com .
This incident was sharply criticized by fans and social media users. The point is that after the first leg in Spain a week earlier, Diego Simeone had clashed with Arsenal defender Ben White for doing the exact same thing. At the time, the coach called the English player's actions disrespectful and acted aggressively toward him.
Observers are calling Diego Simeone's repetition of the act he condemned as hypocrisy and double standards. Video footage shows that defender Jose María Gimenez also walked over the crest alongside the coach.
Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta expressed his satisfaction with his team's historic victory, highlighting the confidence and morale of his players. The Londoners are now continuing their fight for both the Premier League and Champions League titles.
Arsenal has crucial matches at the end of the season. After facing opponents like West Ham, Burnley, and Crystal Palace, the team will take on PSG in the Champions League final in Budapest.
