simeone's pathetic behaviour at the CL final detracts massively from the achievement of getting there

You're correct. Didn't actually see his name down there

Give over.

You won't find many managers who haven't had their pathetic moments down the years after losing in the CL.

Simeone offering Varane out was actually one of the more respectable ones imo

I suppose sometimes you see that kind of plot gone and find it hilarious, other times you just want to give the £#%&!ing idiot a slap

similar to the suarez biting one tbh, it should disqualify him from contention

He and his assistant Burgos (threatened Mourinho on the touchline once) don't carry themselves well, tbh. But it seems it's that energy that drives his teams. The way he's been able to get mediocre players to over-perform for a sustained period now is incredible.

The fact he won't shut up about this isn't helping his cause imo.
