Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has apologised to Vinicius Junior for his behaviour towards the Real Madrid winger during their Spanish Super Cup semi-final.<\/b><\/p>\n

Simeone made comments to the 25-year-old Brazilian winger from the touchline, with the Argentine reportedly suggesting Real Madrid president Florentino Perez would be offloading him.<\/p>\n

Vinicius, whose contract runs until the simmer of 2027, helped his side beat Atletico 2-1 in last Thursday’s semi-final before Real Madrid were beaten 3-2 by Barcelona in the final in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

“I would like to apologise to Mr Florentino and Mr Vinicius for the incident they witnessed,” said Simeone.<\/p>\n

“It was wrong of me to put myself in that position, and I accept that it was wrong. The team that wins deserves to go through; they deserved to go through.”<\/p>\n

Simeone also appeared to exchange words with Vinicius when the forward was substituted after 81 minutes. <\/p>\n

Asked if his behaviour had crossed a line, Simeone added: “I apologise, but I do not ask for forgiveness. I have nothing more to add.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
