They No Longer Hide and in the Spanish Press They Celebrate the Thefts Against Real Madrid. Now we can understand how the narrative against Madridists is constructed. Especially those who insist on staunchly defending referees like Issac Fouto.

The match between Real Madrid and Atlético was tense because of what had happened a week before. However, Fouto Left Everyone Surprised when he spoke about Tchoauméni's controversial penalty. "It's Good That This Play Happened," he stated bluntly.

Surprising statements in which he made it clear that he was pleased with the theft against Real Madrid. And in fact, he justified it: "If You All Say It's Not a Penalty, I Wouldn't Be Very Scared by Real Madrid's Statement." They already acknowledge that Soto Grado's decision was not the right one.

His idea was to go against Real Madrid, who knows if as revenge for their statement. Fouto makes it clear with a very controversial phrase about Tchouaméni's penalty. "At Least We've Gained Something in That," he pointed out when he saw how Soto Grado called it.

The Controversy Over the VAR Intervention in Real Madrid – Atlético

Soto Grado had seen the play and decided not to call anything as he didn't consider the contact. But when VAR called him, he had no qualms about changing his decision to call a penalty. And that despite Fouto assuring that the referee "Won't Be Influenced," something that didn't happen.

In fact, De Burgos Bengoetxea already warned him, saying to go see a stomp, which conditioned him. Something he can't do, but he had no qualms about doing it in the classic. They clearly had in mind that this action should end in a penalty against Real Madrid.

Moreover, when Soto Grado asked for more angles to properly assess the penalty, they didn't show them to him. They made excuses so he would only stick with the ones they had shown him. It seems it was a way to influence his decision by not showing everything properly.
