Atlético: Legal battle against UEFA on the horizon
The International Union of Atlético de Madrid Fan Clubs is not giving up its fight against UEFA. After the controversial penalty incident involving Julián Álvarez at the Metropolitano, the Union is considering suing the European body, arguing alleged manipulation of the images of the incident.
According to the Union, forensic reports commissioned reveal that UEFA edited the images released after the match between Atlético and Real Madrid, with the aim of justifying the decision of referee Marciniak.
This issue has resurfaced on social networks after a Champions League match, where a possible double hit of the ball by Rice, an Arsenal player, was pointed out. Atlético fans, with good humor and without forgetting the Álvarez penalty scandal, believe that the situation deserves a strong response from the club.
The Union and various Atlético de Madrid groups are considering meeting to make a final decision on whether or not to file a formal complaint against UEFA. The general feeling among supporters is to support taking the case to the ultimate consequences, seeking to clarify what happened and defend the interests of the club. The ‘colchonera’ fans, always loyal and combative, hope that justice will be done.
