Diego Simeone must have been relieved when Lionel Messi departed Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain last summer.

When Simeone became manager of Atletico Madrid in 2011, Messi was in the peak of his powers at Barcelona. Simeone made Atletico one of the best teams in Spain but Messi always seemed to have success against the Madrid club.

According to Transfermarkt, Messi has scored 24 goals and recorded 32 assists in 43 games against Atletico. He has broken Atletico fans’ hearts on numerous occasions in the past.

And one of the most iconic times he did so was on December 1, 2019. The match between the twoLa Liga giants was goalless going into the final moments.
