After Luka Modric called out the Atletico Madrid boss for ‘disparaging’ his teammates, it was Thibaut Courtois’ turn to express his frustration.
In a press conference earlier this week, Simeone said: “Courtois left Madrid as the best in the world, when he was with us, he beat Keylor Navas…”
The Belgian did not take these words from his ex-boss kindly and responded saying that Simeone does this to win the favour of his fans.
Following Madrid’s narrow win over Rayo Vallecano, Courtois responded: “Simeone criticises Madrid so as to be popular with his fans. He always does it, attacks Madrid for being the best in the world.”
