Juanma Rodríguez Destroys Atleti With Just Six Words, Historic: 'They Don't Win...

The journalist made it clear that the match was marked by the questionable penalty and that despite that advantage, Atleti wasn't able to win.

Journalist Juanma Rodríguez showed no mercy when evaluating the draw between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid. On his X account, he declared with just six words: "They don't even win with an unfair penalty".

These direct and forceful words quickly became a viral topic, generating controversy on social media.

Atlético de Madrid took the lead in the 30th minute thanks to a penalty executed by Julián Álvarez. The play began after a counterattack that ended with a cross from Javi Galán from the left wing.

Tchouaméni, in a fortuitous incident, stepped on Pablo Barrios's foot, causing the red-and-white midfielder to fall and the subsequent referee's sanction. The referee's decision to call the foul was debated by many, as the action was clearly unintentional.

Match Development

Álvarez's goal, executed in a Panenka style, put the colchoneros ahead. However, Real Madrid quickly reacted and equalized in the 50th minute with a goal from Mbappé. The French forward took advantage of a rebound after a shot from Bellingham that had hit Giménez, to make it 1-1.
