The images have gone around the world, and probably even several times. For their eighth finals return from the Champions League, this Wednesday, Real Madrid and Atlético had to go to the penalty shootout to decide. And during this penalty session, which saw the merengue prevail, Julián Álvarez saw his attempt to be considered as missed, after touching the ball twice because of a slide. An incredible fact of play, which left the Colchoneros in a black anger, Diego Simeone the first.
Present at a press conference before facing FC Barcelona in La Liga this Sunday, the Argentinian was obviously still very reassembled. Asked about this episode, El Cholo shared his dissatisfaction, and again, the word is weak: ” Normally, I always say 'Barcelona'. But this time, the situation deserves an explanation on my feelings. It is anger, rage, injustice … But since my position, all I can do is work for the team to continue to fight as it does. We understand our supporters and, obviously, the feeling that we all share at Atlético is anger, rage and injustice. In any case, it will be necessary to be concentrated for the Rojiblancos, who may see the Blaugranas, but also Real Madrid, distance in the classification in the event of bad results tomorrow.
