Nagelsmann had a ‘spat’ with Diego Simeone during the RB Leipzig and Atletico Madrid UCL semi-final match

Julian Nagelsmann RB Leipzig’s boss announced a spat with Diego Simeone after his side beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 in a historic semi-final.

The U.S. international Tyler Adams scored an 88th-minute goal to help RB Leipzig defeat Atletico Madrid 2-1 and progress to the Champions League semi-finals.

Dani Olmo offered the German side the lead in the 51^st minute after Atletico’s Jao Felix came off the bench to score the penalty to equalise the tie.

However, Adams snatched victory with a deflected shot from outside the box to seal their semi-final spot against Paris Saint-Germain.

Nagelsmann in the post-match interview told reporters:

“I’m not going to say anything about the title. But of course, we do want to reach the final now.

“That’s just normal, I think. If we get there, we can speak about other things.

“The team as a whole beat Tottenham [in the last 16] before and now Atletico. It’s not about duels between coaches – not against Mourinho, not against Simeone and now not against Tuchel either. It is a team game and the guys did brilliantly today.”

Nagelsmann on half-time spat with Diego Simeone:

“Simeone congratulated me afterwards, it was very sincere. He said, it was a great game and a deserved win for us.

“At half-time we had a little spat, but that wasn’t very serious. He’s just an incredible winner who even wants to win on the way to the dressing room.

“But that’s not bad, I actually want to point out that I think he’s personality as a coach is awesome. So, everything’s fine.”

RB Leipzig will face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-finals on 19^th of August (12:30AM Indian Standard Time).
