BT Sport pundits have hit out at Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone for refusing to shake Jurgen Klopp's hand after Liverpool's 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid.

The LaLiga champions saw Antoine Griezmann sent off and a penalty in their favour overturned after a VAR check as they fell to defeat in the Champions League clash.

After the game, the Argentine boss sprinted straight down the tunnel refusing to shake the Liverpool manager's hand.
