Diego Simeone appeared to PUSH Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta near the end of the Gunners' Champions League win against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
Atletico manager Simeone cut a disgruntled figure on the touchline as his team tried to find a late leveller at the Emirates Stadium. And the Argentine's frustration boiled over when ex-Atleti chief Berta, who worked alongside Simeone for more than 12 years in Madrid, tried to get the attention of referee Daniel Siebert.
As the clock ticked into the fifth additional minute in stoppage-time, Berta wanted Siebert to blow the full-time whistle, and it's safe to say that Simeone was far from pleased with the Arsenal man. Indeed, Simeone came charging across from his technical area to confront an animated Berta before pushing him back.
