It's safe to say Diego Simeone was a bit excited Sunday when Antoine Griezmann's dramatic goal lifted Atletico Madrid past Sporting Gijon.
After the French striker instinctively put a header past the Gijon 'keeper in the final minute of stoppage time to give the hosts a 1-0 win, the manager couldn't contain himself as he ran up and down the sideline, pumping his fists and screaming with joy toward fans at the Vicente Calderon.
