Carragher jokes in Spanish with Simeone after Atletico Madrid beat Manchester United

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone shared a light-hearted exchange with CBS pundit Jamie Carragher after his side defeated Manchester United 2-0 at home in the second round of the Champions League group stage.

During a post-match livestream, Carragher approached Simeone while holding his phone and delivered a message in broken Spanish.

“I don’t like Manchester United, thank you, Diego Simeone,” Carragher said.

Simeone laughed before replying: “A hug.”

The exchange followed a difficult result for Manchester United, who were beaten 2-0 by Atletico Madrid.

United have also endured a poor beginning to the Premier League season. They are currently 13th in the table with 6 points, in contrast to their third-place finish last season.
