Jose Gimenez and Diego Godin both scored late goals to put Atletico firmly in control against one of the favourites for the competition, and following the Gimenez’s strike, their manager’s emotions spiralled out of control.Simeone, renowned for his animated celebrations, outdid himself by turning to the home fans and grabbing his crotch.And when questioned about it, he told reporters: “It means we have balls, a lot of balls. “To start [Diego] Costa and Koke after they hadn’t played for a month takes balls.”The Argentine was also quick to apologise for the spur-of-the-moment gesture, insisting it was not aimed at anyone in particular.“I did it as a player inLazio-Bolognaand I did it again to show our fans that we have cojones,” he toldSky Sport Italia. “It wasn’t aimed at the other team, I was turning towards our own supporters.“It’s not a nice gesture, I’ll admit, but I felt the need to do it. It was such a tough game, we fought so hard and Diego Costa worked really hard when he wasn’t 100 per cent fit.“I had to show what I was feeling. I can only apologise if anyone was offended, but I did it from the heart.”It originally appeared as though Simeone was protesting against the use of VAR – the Gimenez opener came moments after Alvaro Morata had a goal harshly ruled out upon review.Gimenez opened the scoring on 78 minutes2

But the Atletico boss, on the contrary, insisted he still backs the use of technology in football.We still believe the VAR can make football more just for everyone,” he said.
