Diego Simeone is known to be one of the fiercest coaches out there, and sometimes he exceeds himself in his protests against refs or other team's bosses.
Tonight, referee Clement Turpin sent the coach off after he demanded a red card to be shown against an Arsenal player. Simeone's rant came minutes after Sime Vrsaljko was booked twice before the 10-minute mark, and maybe the man with the whistle believed he went off limits when demanding the red card.
But what really stood out in those minutes was the reaction of a couple of fans, who waved Simeone goodbye in mocking fashion. Surely, they will become the latest GIF on the internet with their hilarious reaction.
andddd Simeone has also been sent off!

Simeone has been sent off in a final (Champions League), semi-final (Europa League) & quarter-final (Copa del Rey). And he has got an England player sent off in the last 16 (World Cup).
