Atletico Madrid coach Simeone: Vini Jr? Leave it on the pitch

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone shrugged off his post-match clash with Vinicius Jr last night.

Atletico defeated Real Madrid 4-2 after scoring twice in extra-time to reach the quarterfinals.

It was a tense and bitter clash which ended with a post-match melee between the players and benches. And in the aftermath, Simone clashed verbally with an upset Vini Jr.

But the Argentine later said: "There is nothing to comment on, only soccer things that can happen within the playing field.

"I do not stop in so many situations and focus only on competing. They are the best team in the world alongside Manchester City."
