Atlético: Fans Demand More After Controversial Penalty
The International Union of Atlético de Madrid Fan Clubs has expressed its dissatisfaction with the club’s response to the controversial refereeing decision that disallowed a goal by Julián Álvarez in the recent match.
In a statement, the fan clubs express their disagreement with the club’s position of not taking legal action after requesting explanations from UEFA, arguing that the cancellation of the goal was unfair and adulterated the competition.
The fans believe that the club has not given due satisfaction to the demands of its supporters by not challenging the match or legally suing those responsible for the refereeing decision.
Furthermore, the fan clubs regret that Atlético has not convened the Social Commission or sought the opinion of the fan representatives in this situation of utmost gravity. They insist that listening to the fans is an obligation, especially in critical moments like this.
In their statement, the Union of Fan Clubs urges the club to act with the utmost energy and speed to repair the damage caused and put an end to what they consider UEFA’s excesses.
They demand that UEFA be governed by the principles of justice and equity that should govern the competition, seeking to protect the interests of Atlético de Madrid and its supporters. The Rojiblancos fans expect a strong response from the club to defend the team’s rights and avoid future injustices.
