Atlético de Madrid has the clear objective of qualifying for the next edition of the UEFA Champions League. And this Saturday he took a step forward towards that goal.
Diego Simeone’s team appeared at home against Deportivo Alavés and ended up with a very good 2-1 victory. But with much controversy.
It is that the referee of the collation sanctioned an incredible penalty in favor of the Mattress, which was changed by Diego Costa to establish the partial 2-0 for the hosts.
However, Atlético de Madrid suffered. Partly due to a stopped play that led to the visitors being penalized through Joselu.
In the final stretch of the engagement, Alavés had a very dangerous free kick. Therefore, Koke decided to lie down on the barrier to avoid both below it.
Outcome? The ball hit the local midfielder’s hand, so the referee sanctioned the corresponding penalty. He will never do it again!
