The summit of Atletico Madrid and Liverpool - in the third round of the group stage in the Champions League - fulfilled its promises on the level of excitement and football fun and everything the fans want to see in a football match.

5 goals and an expulsion for French Antoine Griezmann and a Madrid "Remontada", and two goals by Mohamed Salah, and the referee's return to the video referee technology (VAR) twice, the first to confirm the referee's decision to award a penalty kick to Liverpool and the second to cancel his decision regarding calculating a penalty kick for "Atletti".

The excitement did not end here, after the end of the match with the Reds' 3-2 victory, there was no handshake between German Jurgen Klopp, the coach of the "Liver" and his rival Diego Simeone, but Klopp played down the importance of the incident.

Diego Simeone: “When I'm angry, I respect the situation.

I have no problem, I just tend to do that when we lose and I'm not happy.”

"I wanted to shake his hand," Klopp said. "Of course, his behavior - like mine - was not good, but our feelings are full of enthusiasm. The next time I see him we will definitely shake hands."

"Nothing happened. He was angry for sure, not at me but at the match. There is nothing else."

Klopp withdrew angrily from the interview after a Spanish journalist insisted that Klopp "was angry despite winning the match because Simeone did not shake hands with him," which provoked Klopp and told the journalist, "You want to make a story out of something that didn't happen in the first place," and reiterated that he was not angry.

For his part, the Argentine coach explained, "I did not shake hands with anyone - before - after the end of the match, because I do not like such behavior, and this is not healthy for the winning or losing teams, and this is my opinion and my point of view."

And he stressed that "in the next match, or when we meet again (with Klopp), we will shake hands without any problems."
