No one likes being subbed in a big match. Less so so if you are the star and your team is losing. That's why Simeone's decision to take off Joao Félix was surprising.
With Real Madrid winning 1-0, with Luis Suárez disappeared in the match and with half an hour left, Simeone decided to take off the Portuguese and bring on Saúl.
While he was leaving the pitch in a hurry, as Atlético Madrid were losing, you could see on Joao Félix's face a mixture of anger and incomprehension at the sub.
But the gesture came after when he was already on the bench. Joao Félix kicked the stand at the Alfredo di Stéfano, a gesture that Saúl and Luis Suárez already did against Salzburg.
