Coach Simeone instigated the altercation.

In the early hours of May 6th, coach Diego Simeone clashed with Arsenal's Sporting Director during Atletico Madrid's 0-1 defeat to Arsenal in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.

Coach Simeone's moment of anger came despite having worked with Berta for a long time at Atletico.

According to the Daily Mail , as the match drew to a close, the atmosphere in the technical area became tense. Witnessing Arsenal's Sporting Director Andrea Berta pressuring for the game to end, manager Simeone lost his composure.

The Argentinian strategist rushed forward and shoved Berta forcefully in front of UEFA officials. The tense situation forced the fourth official and security personnel to quickly intervene to cool down the heated tempers and prevent any unfortunate incident from occurring.

Throughout the 90 minutes at the Emirates Stadium, members of the Atletico Madrid coaching staff frequently expressed their dissatisfaction with the refereeing decisions, particularly in situations involving VAR technology.

The constant complaints and pressure on the fourth official somewhat affected the overall atmosphere of the high-stakes match. Despite his efforts using every tactical and psychological tactic to turn the tide, Coach Simeone had to accept the unsatisfactory result as Atletico were eliminated.

Bukayo Saka scored the only goal in the 44th minute to give Arsenal a 1-0 victory over Atletico, making the aggregate score 2-1 after two legs. After a 20-year wait, the London club is once again in the final of Europe's most prestigious cup competition. Arsenal reached the final convincingly with an unbeaten record in continental competitions (11 wins, 3 draws).
