BARCELONA,(Reuters) - Atletico Madrid went too far in a bid to unsettle Barcelona in their King’s Cup defeat on Wednesday but coach Diego Simeone was proud of his team's rebellious streak.

Simeone’s side ended with nine players and could have had others sent off as they adopted an overly physical approach in their quarter-final clash at the Calderon which the Catalan side won 3-2 to advance 4-2 on aggregate.
