Diego Simeone struck by bottles from crowd after Champions League win

Simeone often sprints down the tunnel after games.

Diego Simeone was struck by bottles as he ran down the tunnel at Old Trafford after Atletico Madrid knocked Manchester United out of the Champions League on Tuesday night. The reigning LaLiga champions secured a 2-1 aggregate victory over the Red Devils, with Renan Lodi's first-half goal enough to send Atletico into the next round. The first-leg of the tie ended as a 1-1 draw at the Metropolitano Stadium, with youngster Anthony Elanga scoring late to salvage a draw for the Red Devils after João Félix had opened the scoring. As the referee blew for full-time in the second-leg tie, Atletico manager Simeone, as he often does, sprinted down the touchline and headed for the dressing room. https://twitter.com/beINSPORTS_EN/status/1503852564336553987 The Argentine is known for not shaking hands with his opposition manager at the end of a match and regularly heads for the tunnel as soon as the whistle is blown.
