Oblak's Controversial Statement About Julián Álvarez's Penalty: 'I Spoke with Him...'

Real Madrid has already moved on from the Euro classic, but Atlético de Madrid continues to show poor sportsmanship.

The red-and-whites keep questioning what happened at the Riyadh Aire Metropolitano with Julián Álvarez, regardless of UEFA's statement.

"Atlético de Madrid consulted UEFA about the incident that led to the cancellation of the penalty taken by Julián Álvarez at the end of yesterday's UEFA Champions League match against Real Madrid. Although it was minimal, the player made contact with the ball with his supporting foot before kicking it, as shown in the attached video. Under the current rule (Laws of the Game, Law 14.1), VAR had to call the referee to indicate that the goal should be disallowed," expressed Aleksander Čeferin's organization.

Oblak Speaks Out

Beyond this correct explanation, Jan Oblak has spoken again about the penalty executed by Julián Álvarez.

"Honestly, I haven't wanted to watch much of the press in the last few days because I imagine it's coming out. I've been told a bit, but no one is very clear about it, and in the end, I can't say much more. No one is clear, no one knows exactly what it is, there's an explanation, and from what I've been told, an image that looks quite different from a real image, so no one knows exactly what it is. I've talked to Julián now in the locker room, we've talked a bit about everything, he doesn't quite understand what happened, how it happened, like everyone else," indicated the Atlético de Madrid goalkeeper on 'DAZ' microphones before facing Barcelona in the league competition.

These words from Jan Oblak demonstrate how poorly Atlético de Madrid has taken the elimination.

Now, Diego Pablo Simeone's team will seek to make an important statement and defeat Barcelona, as a loss would leave them in a tough spot.

The Argentine coach has a lot of authority and experience at his club, although this hasn't helped him at all in this continental elimination.

This elimination is clearly a blemish in Simeone's career as the colchonero coach, although there's little more they can do against the king of Europe.
