On Thursday night, as Atlético Madrid put on a masterclass against FC Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, Diego Simeone openly mocked Lamine Yamal.

Since Atlético Madrid's impressive win over Barça on Thursday evening, Diego Simeone has found himself in the spotlight. While his side humiliated FC Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final (4-0), it is above all his gesture towards Lamine Yamal that has caught the attention of the Spanish press this morning.

Indeed, after Ademola Lookman's third goal, the Argentine coach was caught on camera mocking the Barcelona youngster from his technical area. The Atlético boss walked over to him and held up three fingers, as if to remind him of the scoreline.
