Atletico Madrid captain Koke hit back at Pep Guardiola after the Manchester City boss criticised his side's 'prehistoric, 5-5-0' tactics' following their Champions League clash on Tuesday evening.
Guardiola vented his frustration after City's 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid by saying it is very difficult to attack against 'two lines of five', a defensive tactic devised by boss Diego Simeone, who has long prioritised making his side very hard to beat over the stylish football synonymous with Guardiola.
Koke responded furiously to Guardiola's comments by saying he is 'proud' of Atletico Madrid and that he 'loves' the history of the club regardless of their defensive structure.
