Llorente Speaks Out: Direct Criticism after Arbitral Controversy
Marcos Llorente, a key figure for Atlético de Madrid, has not held back regarding the recent clarification on the penalty rule involving Julián Álvarez in the Champions League. The Rojiblanco player has been forceful in calling the situation a “disaster,” lamenting the incorrect application of the rule at the time.
Llorente, always direct and honest, expressed his frustration on the ‘Radioestadio Noche’ program on Onda Cero and in ‘ElDesmarque,’ where he was also presenting his healthy drink brand, Miwi On.
He acknowledged that, although he is generally not very aware of the rules, the current clarification only confirms the damage suffered by the team in a crucial match.
“If it wasn’t applied correctly that day, all I can say is that it’s a disaster,” Llorente stated, making clear the negative impact that the arbitral decision had on Atlético’s aspirations. Despite the outrage, the versatile Colchonero player maintains a pragmatic attitude, aware that the past cannot be changed. However, his statement reflects the feelings of many fans and underlines the importance of the correct application of the rules in elite football, where every detail can make a difference.
