However, the coach’s moment of fury may very well cost him greatly as it could be a reason to suspend him from participating in the Champions League final next May 28.

In light of the 1-0 first leg loss at Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich started highly motivated and took the reins from the kickoff.
The weekend draw with Borussia Monchengladbach – in which they fielded a weakened side – was only the second time this season that a team has avoided defeat in a competitive match at the Allianz Arena.
In a thrilling affair which saw two missed penalties, Xabi Alonso handed Bayern the lead on the night after 31 minutes with a deflected free-kick from just outside the area.
Bayern Munich midfielder Arturo Vidal was left furious with his side’s elimination from the Champions League by Atletico Madrid, labeling them “ugly” and undeserving of playing in the final. “It is a new chance and maybe we can write some memories”, he added.
He told the club’s official website: “Football can be extreme at times”.
“They were better, but we scored an away goal, which was important”, Griezmann said. And later, with eight minutes to go until the end, it would have turned things around.
Speaking after the match, Simeone said: “I really have to say we played against the best team I have faced in my whole career”.
Guardiola has enjoyed nearly unprecedented domestic dominance during four seasons with Barcelona and three campaigns with Bayern Munich, winning five (soon to be six) league crowns and three domestic cups (with a possible fourth to follow).
But despite having over seventy minutes to score a crucial away goal in the Bernabeu, City failed to register a single shot on target, forcing manager Manuel Pellegrini to defend his team’s cautious approach to the game.
“It is a season I think you can improve on, but it was not a bad season”.
” If we all had a Ferrari that’d be one thing, but sometimes you have a Peugeot”.
Manchester United are interested in signing Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid in a £65m deal this summer, according to reports.
