Atletico Madrid and Uefa to Probe 'Spit' Incident at Liverpool Match

Atletico Madrid will investigate a confrontation that occurred during their 3-2 Champions League loss at Anfield. The incident involved a member of their backroom team allegedly spitting into the crowd. Atletico head coach Diego Simeone received a red card after a heated exchange with a supporter near the away bench.

Video footage suggests that a member of Simeone's team spat into the crowd following Virgil van Dijk's late winning goal. UEFA may take disciplinary action after reviewing official reports. Atletico stated they will conduct their own investigation but will not comment publicly.

Liverpool will assist in any potential UEFA probe by providing relevant CCTV footage and information. Simeone was restrained from confronting a fan who had shouted at him during the incident. After the match, Simeone mentioned reacting to insults or racism but did not disclose the specific nature of the insults.

Simeone expressed regret over the clash with Liverpool fans. The incident occurred after Van Dijk's winning goal in Liverpool's 3-2 victory.
