Madrid derby interrupted by scandal: what Simeone said to Vinicius.
Conflict in the Madrid derby
According to The Sun: XABI ALONSO was furious with Diego Simeone when the Madrid derby took an unpleasant turn during the substitution. When Brazilian winger Vinicius Jr left the field, the Atletico coach appeared to say something to throw the Real star off balance, and his coach immediately jumped to his defense.
“In my opinion, this was unprofessional behavior on Simeone's part,” Alonso noted.
This situation sparked outrage among players and fans, as emotions on the field were running high.
The dispute between the coaches highlights the tension that always accompanies these matches. Both teams have strong football traditions, and such incidents always provoke heated discussions among fans. What comes next? This question will linger in the air until the next encounter between the rivals, when emotions may again get out of control.
