Atlético's Pressure on Referees Is Useful, Soto Grado Calls a Nonexistent Penalty

Before this match, Simeone had already made his club's point of view clear about the alleged refereeing favors to Real Madrid for more than 100 years.

The truth is that the play turned out perfectly for them.  Scandalous penalty in favor of Atlético de Madrid.

It's clear that there is contact from Tchouaméni, but it was a play that had already ended and is a residual action. It's never a penalty.

Atlético's constant complaints on social media against the Merengues haven't been in vain. Amidst mockery and more, they have achieved what they sought to 'eradicate': influencing the refereeing body.

The CTA Exposes Itself Like Never Before

Real Madrid was the victim of a media lynching that can only be seen in Spanish soccer and with its most important team. The penalty called against the Whites in a completely isolated action is simply ridiculous.

The controversial decision comes from an action by Tchouaméni where he supposedly commits a foul in a dispute where there isn't even a ball. From an interpretative point of view, this should not be a penalty in any case, unless it's against Madrid.

The pressure exerted by the Colchoneros and their marketing team has been so incisive and even suspicious that it takes immediate effect. A new demonstration that everything seems to go more in the tone of the White club's letter than what others believe.  Moreover, once again, the narrative that Madrid is favored no matter what falls apart, applauded by the mediocre.
