Reunions and controversy in the match between Atlético de Madrid and Deportivo Alavés
Deportivo Alavés is on its way to Vitoria after the match against Atlético de Madrid. The topic of conversation on the team bus is the controversial penalty that the referee awarded to the Moroccan Abqar for handball.
The coach of Alavés, who was formed as a footballer in the Atlético de Madrid youth academy, has been very critical of the refereeing decision and the club has issued a note of protest.
The match was also special for other players with a past in Atlético de Madrid, such as Carlos Martín, Manu Sánchez and Mouriño, who were formed in the youth academy of the capital of Spain team.
There were also reunions in the Atlético de Madrid team, such as Giuliano Simeone and Marcos Llorente, who lived in the Armentia area and was nicknamed ‘El marquesito’ by Ibai Gómez. The match ended with a press release from Deportivo Alavés expressing its discontent with the refereeing body for some decisions made throughout the season.
