Controversy at the end of the meeting. Simeone did not shake hands with Klopp and he did not like it at all. He said something like “not like this, not like this”, making finger gestures. Simeone usually runs away when the referee whistles, he always does it regardless of the result. But to the German it has seemed an unsportsmanlike gesture. Vivas, the second of Cholo, has gone to shake his hand almost to justify him.
Klopp, at the end of the match:
“He wasn’t angry at all. Look at the pictures. If you want to make a news about it, go ahead. I wanted to shake his hand and he didn’t want to at that moment. I get it. He was already running into the locker room. He is an emotional person. I also. You are not a good person (to the Movistar journalist) because you are trying to make news about it. You said he was angry, but he wasn’t. Now I am because of your question“
Simeone clarifies in Movistar why he did not shake hands with Klopp:
“I don’t normally greet after the game. I don’t like it and I think it’s not healthy because there will always be someone who is not satisfied with the game. They have a different culture, which I do not share. If I see Klopp now, I have no problem saying hi “.
