Diego Simeone surprised by Rummenigge criticism of Atletico Madrid

Diego Simeone has expressed his surprise at the comments of Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

The Bayern Munich coach criticised Atletico's style of football, saying he was glad they were knocked out of the Champions League. 

However, Rojiblancos boss Simeone was not angry, instead just a tad confused. He explained: "I’m very surprised by what he said. 

"I’m surprised that someone who was a magnificent footballer during his playing days, and one who, for his characteristics, would have fitted in perfectly at Atletico Madrid would state his opinion in that way. 

"He was a very similar player, with similar qualities, to some of the players we have here."
