WATCH: Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone almost comes to blows with Borussia Dortmund director
Atletico Madrid’s clash with Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday night was a heated affair, which ended with the home side winning 2-1 at the Civitas Metropolitano in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final match-up. Diego Simeone was certainly fired up for the occasion, and that was represented by an altercation with one of the visitor’s staff.
Video footage has emerged of Simeone squaring up to Sebastian Kehl, Dortmund’s sporting director. The pair almost came to blows, with Cholo pushing Kehl away on multiple occasions, before they had to be separated.
