Atletico Madrid manager, Diego Simeone has come out to say that the linesman was aware of what Sergio Ramos said as the Spain captain displayed his controversial nature yet again, yesterday.
Reports have it that Ramos insulted the linesman during Saturday’s 0-0 El Derbi between rivals Atletico and Madrid at Wanda Metropolitano, but no action was taken.
According to Spanish outlet MARCA, Sergio directed a comment toward the linesman about his mum during the La Liga match.
Remember, Ex Chelsea player, Diego Costa was slammed with an eight-game ban for abusing referee Jesus Gil Manzano in the club’s defeat vs Barcelona last season and Diego Simeone has reacted to how Ramos got away with it.
His words, “What happens on the pitch stays on the pitch, but the linesman knows what he said.”
On the game, “In the first half we were dominating the game and we couldn’t find any solutions [in finding a goal] at the end,”
“We’re having a hard time in that aspect. In the second half, [Jan] Oblak saved [Karim] Benzema’s header. It was a tight game, with both of us missing what it takes to win the match.”
Oblak also said this about the Madrid derby, “We didn’t risk much and neither did they. Neither of us wanted to lose, so I think a draw is the fair result.
“We’ll improve in the next matches.”
