The jack-in-the-box Atletico manager didn't embrace the Celtic boss fully at the end of 90 minutes.
And the Celtic boss won’t get too worked up over the Champions League pat on the back either. Rodgers is more concerned about how his team are handling themselves on the big stage – and the fact they ate getting to grips with the level.
In fairness, Simeone didn’t hold back with his praise of the Parkhead men afterwards – and neither did the pundits. One European broadcaster claimed Celtic have played some of the best stuff by ANY Champions League side this season after being left stunned by the quality of the Hoops opening goal in Wednesday’s 2-2 thriller.
“That’s the combination, that’s what the force of Celtic is. The process for me is about remembering what Celtic used to be at the Champions League level. I know where the Champions League has gone, but for us to get back to being a team that can be feared on the pitch as well as off the pitch, that’s the reality. I think we can see the beginnings of that with this group.
Reo Hatate’s injury is a major blow but it could open the door for Paulo Bernardo and others, while Rodgers has hinted he may rotate his team with Motherwell and Ross County up on the back of this weekend.“You play last weekend, you play midweek then you’ve got another tough game at the weekend – that’s being at a big club, so your body is trained for that and you have to prepare for that.
“It’s imperative that that’s our idea, we want to impose our game on the opposition as early as we can and create problems for the opposition as early as we can. So there’s no change in our mentality.”
