A scathing chant from a Liverpool fan aimed at Diego Simeone has taken social media by storm, capturing the raw emotion following a fiery night of Champions League action at Anfield.
The incident unfolded after Atletico Madrid's dramatic 3-2 defeat, a result that secured Liverpool's progression to the knockout stages. The match's tense finale was compounded when manager Simeone abruptly ignored Jurgen Klopp's offer of a post-match handshake, sprinting straight down the tunnel.
This lack of sportsmanship did not go unnoticed by the home crowd. As Klopp himself applauded the fans, one supporter nearby seized the moment, unleashing a brutally simple and now-viral refrain directed at the departing Argentine manager.
The fan was heard loudly chanting: "Diego Simeone, he’s a f***ing knobhead!" The clip, instantly shared across Twitter and Facebook, has been viewed millions of times, with many fans applauding its cathartic accuracy.
Klopp later addressed Simeone's snub in his press conference, stating he had "no problem" with the opposition coach but admitted, "I would have wished we had a longer conversation, but he was obviously in a hurry."
The viral video perfectly encapsulates the passion of European nights at Anfield and the intense, often personal, rivalries that the beautiful game can create. It serves as a fitting epilogue to a match filled with goals, controversy, and ultimately, a stunning late winner for the Reds.
