Atlético took aim at José Mourinho after their 2-1 Madrid derby win with a provocative social media post.
According to L'Équipe, the Real Madrid coach appeared before the media on Sunday with two photos of fouls by Diego Simeone's players, saying they should have been punished more severely by referee Miguel Angel Ortiz Arias.
His comments sparked a lively reaction from Atlético supporters across social platforms.
The club later shared an image of the Portuguese at his press conference, overlaid with a banner calling for an end to the harassment of referees.
The post extended the Colchoneros' celebrations and directly referenced Mourinho's complaints after Real Madrid's defeat.
