But Atleti suffered late heartbreak when Virgil van Dijk popped up with an added time header to win the match 3-2 for Liverpool.

Simeone was then sent off after flying into a rage with a home fan in the Anfield crowd.

The hot-headed gaffer was seen trying to confront the supporter following Van Dijk’s winner.

Simeone had to be held back by stewards before eventually being pushed away.

He charged towards the referee while gesturing about the incident.

But Simeone was then given his marching orders, leaving him even more frustrated.

It is unclear what exactly sparked the confrontation.

However, Simeone claimed he was forced to deal with “insults” all night.

And he added “it’s not easy” to brush them off over the course of 90 minutes.

But later, Simeone abruptly walked out of his post-match press conference after refusing to answer any more questions about the incident.

Before that, he said: “They always talk about care, about respect… but they insult you from the crowd all game.

“I can’t say anything back because I’m the coach. My reaction is not justifiable. But after 90 minutes of insults it’s not easy.

“The referee told me he understood the situation. I hope Liverpool can improve on this part and that when they identify the person responsible, they are punished.”

Asked about the insults, he added: “Insults all game long. And gestures too. You don’t know what it’s like.

“But I am the one who has to stay calm, and I have to put up with the gestures, the insults, in any situation.

“Why? Because I’m in a position where I have to put up with it.”

But things became tense when Simeone was asked by journalists whether the insults were anything to do with his nationality.

The Argentine answered: “I’m not really going to get into the exact nature of the insults.

“I don’t want to get into that discussion. I’ve got to stay in my place.

“I know what went on behind the bench but I can’t solve society’s problems in one press conference.

“I’ve got to live with it because it exists all over the place, all the time.”

Simeone was then asked if the referee explained the situation to him while producing a red card.

But he appeared to grow tired of talking about the incident.

The gaffer simply stared ahead before saying “no”.

Simeone then took off his headphones and stormed off without another word.

Fans had mixed reactions in the comments, with one saying: “Aura.”

Another declared: “Sore loser.”

One noted: “I don’t blame him.”

Another added: “Completely succeeded in deflecting the loss.”
