Atletico Madrid captain Koke has snapped back at Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola after last night's Champions League defeat.

Guardiola vented his frustration after City's 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid by saying it is very difficult to attack against "two lines of five", a defensive tactic devised by boss Diego Simeone.

Guardiola shared his thoughts on Atletico's tactics after the game by saying: "He [Simeone] has put [Antoine] Griezmann on the far right and Joao Felix on the far left, and they have gone 5-5-0. Two lines of five.

"And in prehistory, today and in a hundred thousand years, attacking a 5-5 is very difficult. It is that there is no space. Apart from the fact that they are very competitive and defend very well, there is no space."

Guardiola's comments did not sit well with Koke, who took to Instagram to respond furiously.

He shared a photo of the Atletico badge on his Instagram story with the following caption: "In love with your story since prehistory. Proud to be from Atleti."
