Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone attended a pre-match press conference for the Copa del Rey today. When a reporter asked for his thoughts on the Spanish Super Cup final, Simeone first apologized for the conflict with Vinícius during the Supercopa de España.

Simeone said: "First of all, I want to apologize to Florentino and Vinícius for what happened a few days ago. That behavior was wrong, so I apologize. The winning team deserves to advance, that's all. Barcelona is an excellent team, and they deserve this victory."

Later, another reporter asked Simeone about Alonso's comment that he "lacks sportsmanship". Simeone replied: "I apologize, but I do not ask for forgiveness, and I have nothing more to say."

In the Supercopa de España semi-final last week, Simeone clashed with Vinícius on the pitch.
