A furious Diego Simeone shoved Arsenal's sporting director Andrea Berta during the closing stages of the Gunners' crucial Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid. Arsenal secured their place in the final of Europe's premier competition for the first time in two decades on Tuesday night, with Bukayo Saka's strike giving them a 1-0 win on the night and a 2-1 aggregate triumph.
The Incident Unfolds
It was in the dying moments when Simeone approached Berta, who appeared to be heading toward the dugout area to signal for full-time. Berta was seen walking from the tunnel area onto the pitch after the ball was headed out of play. Simeone noticed him and moved toward the Italian, then shoved him, forcing the fourth official and other UEFA officials to step in and separate the two.
Aftermath and Resolution
The situation quickly calmed down, with no further altercations from either dugout as Arsenal celebrated their victory on the Emirates pitch at full-time. More details to follow.
