Diego Simeone was left unimpressed with a question about Manchester City's Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid after they'd dumped out his Atletico Madrid side in the quarter finals.
City edged a tight and tense quarter final with Atletico thanks to Kevin De Bruyne's first-leg goal, with tempers boiling over towards the end of the second leg as the Blues held on to set up a last four meeting with Real.
Simeone was already on the defensive in his post-match press conference as he fielded questions about Atletico's tactics and also their conduct in some altercations with City players. So when a Spanish reporter asked him about City's semi-final return to Madrid to face Real, Simeone was quick to end proceedings.

A reporter asked Simeone: "Is it demanding or cheeky to ask you if you could give Real Madrid some advice on how to defeat City." Given Atletico's fierce rivalry with Real, as well as the bad-tempered clashes with City, it's no surprise that Simeone refused to answer the question.
However, he appeared angry with the suggestion and walked out, ending the press conference abruptly as he said: "No, I would never dare to do that."
UEFA have confirmed that City will host Real Madrid at the Etihad in the semi-final first leg on April 26, with the return leg at the Bernabeu on May 4.
