German tactician Rangnick has never faced Simeone during his outstanding coaching career. He is looking forward to this round of 16 meeting.
Simeone is no stranger to British football fans following David Beckham’s infamous red card incident at the 1998 World Cup. A former midfielder, Simeone also played for Manchester United as an Inter Milan player during the 1998/99 treble-winning season.
After retiring as a player, Simeone led Atlético in Spain and rose to prominence as one of Europe’s best managers. He has won two La Liga titles, two Europa League titles, two UEFA Super Cups, the Spanish Cup and the Spanish Super Cup.
