Simeone explodes var after the controversy on the penalty

Atletico coach Diego Simeone was naturally livid with the Var decision and questioned the controversial appeal.

“The referee said that when Julian arrived at the penalty spot, he had touched the ball with his standing foot, but the ball did not move,” said Simeone. “I have never seen a penalty where they called the Var, but well, they would have seen that he touched it. I want to believe that they saw that he touched it.

“Have you seen it touch the ball twice?” Please anyone who was present in the stadium and saw it touch the ball twice, the ball moving, please, I raise your hand. I don’t see anyone with my hand raised, so that’s all I have to say … the next question.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was satisfied with the decision taken.

“They detected it. When we realized that there was this doubt, they had already detected it on Var,” said Ancelotti.

“I saw him, I think he touches him with his left foot, a second touch.”
