– Atletico Madrid responded to the European Football Association statement (UEFA) regarding the cancellation of the Argentine penalty kick, Julian Alvarez, during the match between Real Madrid in the second leg of the 16th round of the Champions League.
Atletico’s response came as follows:
“We know that the error of the auxiliary video ruling will never change the end result, no matter how clear the error will be the result, but we will regret this incident and its impact on us.
This broke the hopes of millions of fans and undermined the exceptional efforts made by our team.
It is not Atletico habits fabricating excuses or converting the focus into something else. We are already looking forward to our next challenge on Sunday against Barcelona.
Although the European Football Association is clarified, Atletico is still frustrated, the ball did not move clearly before the strike in any of the available angles.
The assistant video rule should only interfere in the event of clear and intuitive errors, and this decision was taken in just 45 seconds.
