MU legend criticized Atletico for making a “farce”, Simeone voiced his objection

MU legend Rio Ferdinand criticized the behavior of Atletico Madrid players.

Atlético’s bad plays first Man City (FPT):

Cup quarter-final second leg match C1 Between Atlético Madrid and Man City had no goals scored. However, the highlight of the match at the Wanda Metropolitano was the collision phase that mainly came from the home team players.

Coach Simeone defends Atletico’s play

After the game, MU legend Rio Ferdinand told BT Sport: “Unpleasant behavior from the Atletico players, they should be ashamed of some of the antics they made. Technically, Atletico Madrid did a great job as they made City play in a way we haven’t seen in a long time, making them lose their rhythm. But the final image is not what you want to see on the football field.”

Meanwhile, Atletico coach Simeone said: “Football has 1,000 different ways of operating the game. I’m not going to talk about how an opponent played against us. Football is opinion. We play the way we want, we can face the best team in the world and we show that we can compete. However, I am not satisfied because it is all about winning and reaching the semi-finals.”

On the other side of the line, Man City coach Pep Guardiola shared: “I have nothing to say. Don’t talk about the referee or the opponent. Everyone saw everything happen, that’s all. I have nothing to say. We’ll have dinner and then prepare for the FA Cup semi-final.

It is always difficult to play in this stadium. That’s a big compliment to the players. We did everything. We cannot expect that we will make things magical against the Spanish champions. The opponent was really strong.”
