Diego Simeone walks straight down tunnel and refuses to shake Man Utd boss Ralf Rangnick’s hand after Atletico draw
DIEGO SIMEONE marched straight down the tunnel without shaking hands after Atletico Madrid's draw with Manchester United.
The Argentine manager watched his side throw away their advantage in the Champions League tie at Wanda Metropolitano.
Simeone was in no mood to hang around at the full-time whistle - storming straight down the tunnel with no handshake for Ralf Rangnick.
It's unclear whether there was a disagreement between the managers or Simeone just couldn't wait to get off the pitch.
Atletico were held to a 1-1 draw by Manchester United in the first leg of their Champions League tie.
Anthony Elanga scored a late equaliser for the Red Devils after Joao Felix's early strike.
The second leg is set to take place at Old Trafford in three weeks time.
Simeone previously slammed the English custom of managers shaking hands after the game.

He caused a stir earlier this season when he refused to shake Jurgen Klopp's hand after Liverpool won their group match in Madrid.
And, before they faced off at Anfield in November, Simeone said: "I explained it after the game, I reiterate it.
"I don’t like to shake hands after the game; the emotions are different from the coaches.
“I understand that in England, it is used as a gentlemanly way, but I don’t share it because I don’t like falsehoods.
“I can’t talk about Klopp as a person because I don’t know him, but I can talk about the good work he has always done in the teams he has been in.
“I don’t usually give my opinion on how opposing teams play. There are codes, and we coaches have to respect that.”
Speaking after Liverpool beat Atletico 3-2 in October, Simeone said: "I never shake hands after a match, because I don't like it.
"It isn't healthy for either the one who wins or the one who loses. That's the way I see it.
"But now when I see [Klopp] I will shake his hand without problem."
