Diego Simeone pelted with missiles as he ran down the tunnel.
Simeone does the sprint every game no matter what the result, preferring to head straight back to the dressing room and not stick around waiting for handshakes.
"I don’t like the greeting after the match because they are the emotions of two sides in different emotional minds," Simeone said in November.“I know in the UK it is a custom but I don’t share it and I don’t like the falseness it may include." Simeone and Atleti once again proved they are the master of the dark arts and defended for their lives.
The two-time finalists will now go into the hat for the quarter final draw, which takes place on Friday. As for United, they remain trophyless for six straight seasons and must now focus on securing Champions League football for next season.
