– Enrique Serizo, president of Atletico Madrid, expressed his strong dissatisfaction with the derby match against Real Madrid in the second leg of the 16th Champions League, which was held last Wednesday, especially in the controversial penalty shootout of Argentine striker Julian Alvarez.
In comments, Serizo expressed his anger, saying: “Until Wednesday, we were competing for all championships: the Champions League, the King’s Cup, and the Spanish League, but that night, a problem caused a terrifying tool called Var, which does not serve any purpose other than harm to the teams, in destroying one of our greatest dreams.”
“We believed that video technology was found to make football more just, but now I see that it is unjustly increasing it.”
Although the Madrid Club resented, Cerezo stressed the necessity of moving forward, saying: “Whatever our objections, the result will not change, we have an important match on Sunday against Barcelona, then facing the return in the King’s Cup, and we will see if we are able to reach the final.”
