Controversial Arbitration and Valencia's Reaction Against Atleti
Valencia CF regrets the controversial play that could have changed the course of the match against Atlético de Madrid. Iván Jaime, making his debut as a starter, expressed his frustration at the non-awarding of a possible penalty, coinciding with the opinion of the opposing coach.
“It could have been the goal and the match could have been another story,” the player stated. Despite the result, Jaime highlighted the great work of the team in the second half, where they managed to corner Atleti in their own half.
“At halftime, the approach to the game changed. We came out with two forwards, we were able to press more and it was reflected. Atleti was bottled up, we could have scored the first goal and the match could have been another story,” he concluded. Valencia, although they did not achieve victory, showed character and dedication against a Champions League rival, leaving good feelings for the future.
