A little like Ray Liotta in Mafia classic 'Goodfellas', Diego Simeone thinks a helicopter is following him. The Atletico Madrid manager complained to UEFA about a helicopter that made repeated passes over the stadium and hovered for minutes as Atletico Madrid were finalising preparations for tomorrow's Champions League final with Real Madrid.
