Revealed: What Vinicius Jr and Diego Simeone said to each other in goading Madrid derby spat that 'crossed the line', as Brazilian star faces Real 'getting rid of him' after fall from grace
Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior and Diego Simeone were involved in a fiery touchline spat on Thursday night, sparked by claims the Atletico Madrid boss told the Brazilian he would soon be shown the door by his club. TV cameras had earlier shown Vinicius and Simeone debating a penalty appeal in the first half. Alonso criticised Simeone in his post-match press conference, saying that his behaviour had 'crossed a line'. 'I didn't like it,' Alonso told Movistar. 'I don't have anything to say,' the Atletico coach said.
