Red and White Outrage: Fans Demand Action After the Derby
Atlético de Madrid fans have expressed their deep outrage after the match against Real Madrid, in which a controversial refereeing decision marked the course of the match.
The annulment of the penalty taken by Julián Álvarez, alleging a double touch, has unleashed fury among the Red and White supporters, who believe that this action seriously harmed the team in the penalty shootout of the Champions League round of 16.
The International Union of Atlético Fan Clubs has raised its voice, urging the club to formally challenge the match. Through a statement on social media, the Union of Fan Clubs demands transparency from UEFA, requesting that the evidence supporting the VAR’s decision be made public.
They even propose legal action against the referees and UEFA itself if there is no clear evidence of the alleged double touch. The Atlético Senate, with more than half a century of history, has also expressed its displeasure, calling the situation a blatant robbery.
They argue that there is no clear shot that unequivocally demonstrates the double touch, generating even more controversy among the fans. The general feeling is one of frustration and disappointment, considering that once again, the refereeing has harmed Atlético in a key match against Real Madrid. Fans expect the club to take forceful measures to defend the team’s interests and clarify what happened in this controversial match.
