Atleti Fans Demand Legal Action After Disallowed Goal
Atlético de Madrid fans refuse to accept the controversial disallowed goal by Julián and demand that the club exhaust all possible legal avenues to defend their interests. Following Atlético’s statement regretting what happened and assuming the result is unchangeable, fan groups have mobilized demanding a more forceful response.
The International Union of Fan Clubs has issued a statement expressing its rejection of UEFA’s attitude, calling it an “adulteration of the competition.” The Union regrets the lack of decisive action by the club, urging the challenging of the match and/or legal action, recalling that “listening to the fans is always an obligation.” They insist that Atlético must act with the utmost energy to repair the damage caused.
Similarly, the Los 50 fan club also requests that Atlético explore any legal avenue in defense of its interests, pointing out irregularities in the process of disallowing the goal. According to the fan club, the referee contradicts UEFA and violates the VAR protocol, which questions the legality of the decision.
Furthermore, they argue that the regulations state that the ball is in play when it is clearly struck and moved, something that is not demonstrated in the video provided by UEFA. The Rojiblanco fans unite in an outcry for the club to defend their honor and fight for what they consider an injustice.
