Diego Simeone 'absolutely loses the plot' in red-card MELTDOWN after Liverpool's late winner against Atletico Madrid.
Diego Simeone was handed a red card after flying into a rag, which appeared to be sparked by Liverpool fans in the crowd amid chaotic scenes that followed the Reds' late winner against Atletico Madrid.
The long-time LaLiga manager was forced to watch as his team's full-throated comeback was left in ruins thanks to the latest of goals by Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk.
As Anfield went wild, however, Simeone seemed incensed by the crowd behind him and was seen engaging with passionate fans close to the pitch.
Taunted by the jubilant home faithful, the Argentine was held back by stewards, but wrestled free of the grip of his coaching team to appear to make an obscene middle-finger gesture at fans in the stands.
Simeone was eventually handed a red card by referee Maurizio Mariani and dismissed with seconds left to play at Anfield.
On commentary for TNT Sports, Darren Fletcher watched with amazement as Simeone departed down the tunnel.
Simeone's in the crowd!' the commentator informed the viewers - and co-pundit Ally McCoist. 'He's absolutely lost the plot. I don't know what's been said to him.'
Fletcher added: 'I think he feels like he's been wronged in some way, by the people on that side - all we do know is that he's been sent off.'
When asked why he had responded in that way, Simeone told Movistar Futbol: 'They've been talking about putting on a good show, but they insult you from behind the team the whole game, and you can't say anything because I'm the coach.
'My reaction to the insult isn't justifiable.
'And of course, with the opponent scoring just in time, you turn around and they keep insulting you, and with the tension, what happens is what happens.'
He added in his press conference later that he regretted not holding in his emotions, as per TNT Sport.
But Steve McManaman on punditry duty said that he 'didn't mind' Simeone's outburst, noting that the atmosphere was 'highly charged'.
'He gives as good as he gets, Diego Simeone, and that's why people like him around the world.
