Atlético's frustration with VAR in penalty decisions

Atlético Madrid does not understand the VAR in penalty decisions. In a game against Sevilla, a play was allowed to continue where Gallagher suffered a blow from Álvaro that would have meant a tie before halftime.

In comparison, a similar play with Vinicius and Rui Silva of Betis was reviewed by the VAR and a penalty was awarded. This season, Atlético has shown an offensive version, but has only taken one penalty, converted by Griezmann against Alavés. Despite coming back against Sevilla, the penalty spot remains in the minds of the mattress makers.

The new Atlético de Madrid park is now a reality

The mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, along with the president of Atlético de Madrid, Enrique Cerezo, and some legends of the club, have inaugurated the new Atlético de Madrid park in the space that was occupied by the playing field of the Vicente Calderón before its disappearance in 2017.

During the ceremony, a ’time capsule’ was introduced in the point where the center of the stadium was located, which contains a piece of grass, a stone and a seat from the old stadium, as well as a flag and a shirt of Atlético de Madrid, two photographs of the first and last goal in the stadium, a poster of the first match and a sector map with the marked prices of the tickets for the last match.

The Atlético de Madrid park is part of the new green space built on the coverage of the M-30 in the Mahou-Calderón area, which represents the culmination of Madrid Río.

The resulting area provides continuity to the itinerary that borders the Manzanares River with the construction of a walkway of approximately 620 linear meters that connects with the existing ones both to the south and to the north.

The new space is divided into three areas due to the altimetric differences produced by the coverage of the M-30 section that has allowed the execution of this new green area. In the act, Almeida highlighted this urban regeneration operation as an example of what the city of the future is ’that bets on improving the quality standards of public space, generating green areas and improving communication infrastructures through the undergrounding of the 700 meters that were missing in Madrid Río and that bets on preserving its identity and its memory, which here are called Atlético de Madrid'.
