Having exchanged words with Simeone in the first-half, Vini Jr enjoyed making taunting gestures towards the Atletico bench as he was taken off.
While heading to the home dugout, he began to raise his arms looking towards Atletico's technical area, sending a clear message aimed at Simeone.
El Cholo, aware of Vini's intentions, responded with gestures himself, although he avoided engaging in provocation, something that the fourth referee thanked him for after the match.
