UEFA Goes Against Real Madrid, the Fact That Makes Ceferin Blush and Proves Him Right

The data against Real Madrid in the midst of Florentino's war against UEFA and Ceferin

The relationship between Real Madrid and UEFA has been non-existent for some time now, and this has been proven. Especially since Florentino Pérez started the Super League, something that Ceferin didn't like at all. Since then, they have intensified their attacks against the Meringues.

After years of inaction, UEFA got its act together by changing the format of the Champions League. It was clear that it was not working and that the Super League showed the need for renewal. However, they came up with a tournament that involves more games and work.

But that hasn't stopped Ceferin from doing his thing, with a fact that many find suspicious. In the midst of a war against Real Madrid, it seems that they want to make things difficult for them. At least when it comes to defending the European title.

The game between Real Madrid and Atalanta ended with a 2-3 victory for the Meringues. But everything could have been very different after the controversial penalty that made it 1-1. It was a dubious play, in which it seemed that Tchouaméni didn't hit and it was the opponent who stumbled.

The data against Real Madrid in the midst of tension with UEFA

In the midst of tensions between Real Madrid and UEFA, this penalty leaves a very striking statistic. And it is that, for the fourth consecutive away game, the Whites have been punished with a penalty. This means they equal the worst record they had until now.

It all started in last season's semi-finals against Bayern and has continued with Lille, Liverpool and Atalanta. In all of them, Los Blancos have seen their opponents shoot from the 11-metre mark. A punishment that in Bergamo is more than questionable when you see the action.

In fact, this run is the worst in the history of the competition, with 4 consecutive penalties conceded away from home. Real Madrid already suffered it in 2009 and Zenit also between 2019 and 2020. Now the Whites could continue to increase their lead against Brest in the last matchday of this season.
