It’s alright to feel aggrieved with Daniel Siebert’s refereeing - particularly with the late penalty area collision between José Giménez and Diogo Jota, a spot kick opportunity inexplicably taken away from Atlético with the match still in the balance. (In fact, it wasn’t red card-worthy at Porto’s Estádio do Dragão on Tuesday.) Simeone, of course, was referring to Antoine Griezmann’s 52nd-minute red card for a high boot on Roberto Firmino - an incident rarely deemed a straight red card offense. The team responded well with one less player.” We had the clearest play in the second half, the goalkeeper made another great save. “We didn’t start the game like we wanted, and from the second goal we started to find the game we had been looking to play,” Simeone said afterward. It was the first time Atlético conceded three goals in a Champions League home game under Diego Simeone - an eight-year, 39-game run, snapped. Despite dominating roughly half their match against Liverpool, the Spanish champions fell to a 3-2 home defeat and into a tie for second place in Champions League Group B. On Tuesday night, Atlético Madrid bucked the simulations.
