Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone ‘wants to believe’ Julian Alvarez penalty decision was honestly made

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simoni said that he “wanted to believe” that Var, Julian Alvarez, touched the ball twice in defeating a penalty last night for Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Al -Fariz considered that he kicked the ball to his permanent foot and the stain kick was excluded, although it was not immediately clear from the return.

With Marcus Lorenti also lost from Atletico, as well as Lucas Vazquism to Madrid, Antonio Rudger left to press the penalty kick Jean Oblak to send Carlo Ancelotti’s men to the quarter -finals with Arsenal.

SIMONE Questions Resolution

It was Alvarez’s penalty that dominated the post -match conversation and Simon was convinced that it was the correct call.

He said: “I have just seen the pictures, the referee says that Julian touches the ball with his supportive leg, but the ball does not move.” “This is negotiable, whether it is a goal or not. But I am proud of my players, I am honestly happy, because we are competing in an ideal way.

“When Julian kicks [the penalty]The ball does not move a little. I imagine that they called Var and saw it touched it. I want to believe that they will see it. “

Athletti won 1-0 at night thanks to the goal of Connor Galaghar in the opening minute, but he was unable to find a second during a high-power but low-quality game.

“Are you afraid because you will be punished?” 🤐

Madrid goalkeeper Themepot Courtois believed that the right decision was made regarding the kick of the stacks, and all of his teammates and his teammates were quick to clarify their view of the referee in the field of Skemona Marciniak.

The Belgian said: “I felt that he touched the ball twice and told the referee.” “It is not easy to see it.”

However, it was not affected, by Simeone who doubts the safety of VAR.

“For UEFA, this is clear. I have been tired of this victim, and I always cry for things like this. Referees do not want to take advantage of one team or another in Spain or in Europe, because they were clear. With this technology, in the VAR room, they saw it clearly, they have a lot of cameras and a lot of pictures.”
