As Atletico bows out, proud Simeone is 'at peace' with team's performance

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone spent almost the entire second leg of his side's Champions League semifinal defeat by Arsenal prowling his technical area, gesticulating at his players and seemingly kicking every ball.

As his hopes of taking the club to the final for a third time in his 15-year reign faded, late on in Atletico's 1-0 loss at the Emirates, his emotions got the better of him and, not for the first time while wearing a suit, he was booked.

But, later, the 56-year-old Argentine was a model of composure as he reflected on a 2-1 aggregate defeat for his team which found resilient Arsenal too tough a nut to crack.
