Atletico Madrid will still come to terms with not just a defeat against City Rivals Real Madrid in Europe, after they have left on punishments on Wednesday evening in the Champions League round of 16. Dish or wrongly, there is still an important sense of injustice hanging around the Metropolitano.
While Alvarez scored his penalty, the fourth of the shootout, referee Szymon Marciniak stopped the game before Fede Valverde took his. On the advice of the VAR, Alvarez's penalty was not allowed, after they concluded that he had touched the ball with his left foot before he hit him with his right.
This led to no shortage of confusion in the Metropolitano, not least from Julian Alvarez. After his return to his teammates on the Half Line, ESPN images, as marked by Diario as, let Alvarez respond 'I don't know. Could be, but I don't know. ” It is clear that these are words that he seems to say without any context of what his teammates ask him.
Moreover, Cadena Ser reports that once back in the dressing room, Alvarez reportedly told his family that he did not notice any touch of the ball from his left foot before he hit him. The winner of the World Cup explained that he was slipping away, but he was not clear that he touched the ball twice, although it was noted that it would be difficult to do this in such a quick action. Relo explain that the Atletico players generally do not consider it clear and clear, and therefore the VAR should not have intervened. The Union of Supporters Clubs are also considering asking to submit a formal complaint to UEFA.
Fresh images seem to show that the ball jumps just before Alvarez touches the ball, which would support the VAR image of the incident, although some believe that this could be the impact with the grass instead of the Argentinian foot. Los Colchoneros found little sympathy of Thibaut Courtois, who said he was “sick of their victimization.”
