“WHO?” – Diego Simeone shuts down criticism from the Atletico Madrid icon after a tactical masterstroke

Atletico Madrid picked up one of their most impressive wins of the season on Saturday afternoon, as they defeated Las Palmas 5-0 at Civitas Metropolitano. What made it even more special was that two of the goals were scored by Marcos Llorente, who was converted into a striker for the party by coach Diego Simeone.

Simeone rested Antoine Griezmann and Memphis Depay ahead of Tuesday's Champions League round of 16 first leg against Inter Milan, which led to him pushing Llorente further forward, and to great effect.

The decision was questioned by many, including the Atleti icon Milinko Pantic, which Simeone seemed to dismiss as irrelevant when the media asked about the matter, as for Brand.

“WHO? A legend is our dear Luis Aragones, a legend of the club.”

Simeone has always been one who never took too much criticism, and his response to this was typical Cholo. Now he can wait for the match against Inter, which Atletico Madrid it will be the first of several knockout matches in this season's Champions League.
