RMC Sport Analyst Slams Simeone's 'Shameful' Atlético After PSG Rout

Paris, France – Following Atlético Madrid's resounding 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, sports analyst Fred Hermel delivered a scathing critique of Atlético coach Diego Simeone on RMC Sport's 'After Foot' program. Hermel expressed profound frustration with Simeone's post-match 'financial excuse', arguing that such a justification is unacceptable for the world's highest-paid coach. "I'm fed up with Simeone's discourse... When you are the highest-paid coach in the world, you cannot afford to play the small guy," Hermel stated. He further claimed that Simeone has "lost his players," citing the team's performance against PSG as "the most shameful Atlético I've seen in a long time." Hermel highlighted an "abyssal difference" between the two clubs across all domains, emphasizing that Atlético's players showed a severe lack of self-respect and failed to win a single duel during the match. His comments underscore a growing concern over the Spanish club's recent form and leadership.
