International soccer has provided extremely exciting matches for many fans. With the stars of their respective countries showcasing good soccer, these matches almost make club soccer forgotten. However, this hasn't been possible due to controversies like Julián Álvarez's penalty, which he will discuss with Vinicius Júnior.

As club soccer resumes, a private plane has been prepared to take all the players from Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atlético. Departing for Europe on Wednesday, this plane will see the meeting between Julián and Vinicius. With the controversy of the disallowed penalty in the Champions League still present, Julián and Vinicius will talk about it.

Atlético de Madrid, to this day, has claimed that Julián's penalty was wrongly disallowed because he never touched the ball twice. Keeping this in mind, the conversation with Vinicius could help solve once and for all a topic that has already been explained by experts.

The Conversation Between Vinicius and Julián

This edition of the Champions League has brought many encounters that have been recorded in history. The classic between Madrid and Atlético was one of them, being a match full of excitement during all the minutes played. Despite Atlético's confidence in overcoming Real Madrid, Julián was the cause of the red-and-white debacle.

Reaching the penalty shootout, Julián clearly touched the ball twice in his shot, something that is strictly prohibited by the rules. Having been justly disallowed, the tension increased through a poor attitude from the colchoneros toward Vinicius Júnior.

Despite Julián acknowledging that he touched the ball twice, his meeting with Vinicius Júnior will be crucial to clarify this situation. With a few days left to take the plane back to Europe, the meeting between Julián and Vinicius could put an end to this controversy forever.

A Champions to Remember

After matches like the Madrid classic, it can be assured that this edition of the Champions is one of the best in several years. Although the conversation between Julián and Vinicius is still pending, it doesn't seem to affect the Champions League in any way.
