UEFA Bans Diego Simeone
Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has been banned
for the whole of next season's Uefa Champions league
group phase.
Simeone ran onto the field shortly before the final
whistle to confront Real Madrid defender Raphael
Varane.
The ban was punishment for Simeone attacking Real
Madrid centre back Rapheal Varane after Cristiano
Ronaldo
scored a penalty that sealed it for the eventual
champions.
Varane had kicked the ball towards Simeone after the
penalty, an act that infuriated Simeone and caused him
to
sprint towards him on the pitch.
Even after he was sent to the stands by referee Bjorn
Kuipers, Simeone turned back to tell Varane: “I’ll see
you
in the tunnel.”
