Simeone claims Vinicius should’ve been sent off against Barcelona

Real Madrid lost to Barcelona at Santiago Bernabeu 1-0. The El Clasico match which was held in a Copa del Rey setting with the second leg coming on April 5 saw

dominate much of the game.

However, there was a particular challenge from Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr. on Frankie De Jong where he grabbed his neck with two hands. Vinicius received a yellow card for the challenge but Atletico Madrid boss Simeone thinks it should’ve been a red.

In a pre-match press conference, Simeone suggested that Montero should have shown

a red: “

You all saw it the same [as me]. Seeing the images, we are asking ourselves the same questions. It goes beyond anything else that I can tell you.

"It's difficult to add much more to what you have seen. It depends, as always, on the interpretation of the referees, on how they understand things in the best way possible so that everything is equal.”
