Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has found himself on the receiving end after he appeared to decline to shake hands with his opposite, Brendan Rodgers, during their Champions League clash.
Simeone's Atletico locked horns with Rodgers' Celtic on Tuesday night for their third Group E encounter staged at Celtic Park.
The tie was marked with dramatic incidences in the closing stages, with the visitors finishing with 10 men on the pitch after Rodrigo De Paul was red-carded in the 82nd minute.
Sky Sports reports that both teams eventually shared the spoils, with Alvaro Morata equalising in the second half to earn his side a precious point.

FootballKyogo Furuhashi needed just four minutes to open the scoring for the hosts before Antoine Griezmann made it 1-1 in the 25th minute.
However, Luis Palma restored Celtic's lead three minutes later, only for Morata to equalise in the second half.
The biggest highlight of the match came after the full-time whistle when Simeone appeared to snub Rodgers.
Sportbible reports that the Atletico boss was seemingly agitated with the result at Celtic Park.
A video doing rounds on social media showed Simeone seemingly ignoring Rodgers, who had approached him to shake hands before he casually shook it and headed straight down the tunnel.
Simeone's actions earned him condemnation from fans online, with @Patrick80222867 simply saying:
"Classless."
@nmengland noted:
"He doesn’t change."
@tuc76049437 concluded:
"Wouldn’t know what sportsmanship was even if it hit him in the face."
