MADRID — Few do suffering and drama in the Champions League like Atletico Madrid and coach Diego Simeone.
Even while winning, as they did Wednesday 2-1 over Inter Milan, Simeone showed his wide repertoire of agonized and ecstatic emotions on the sideline dressed in trademark all-black suit, shirt and tie.
Atletico ended Inter’s perfect record of four straight wins in this Champions League when captain José María Giménez scored with a header late in stoppage time.
“He has great timing,” Simeone said of Giménez. “We needed a goal like that because it always looks good when a center back scores.”
A game between two teams that combined to lose four of the past 12 Champions League finals was settled by a goal just like the one that denied Atletico an elusive first title in 2014.
