The President of Atletico Madrid reduces Var after controversial match

Atletico Madrid's season has recently scored another goal, which was rejected with the 16-round fight of the Champions League with the controversial goal by Julian Alvarez 'Tor against Real Madrid. Club President Enrique Cerezo expressed his anger and unbelief after the game and claimed the video evidence that Alvarez “doesn't even touch the ball”. Cerezo's comments came shortly before visiting FC Barcelona in the Metropolitano Stadium, where the emotions still ran high under Atletico fans.

Cerezo's frustrations were noticeable when he addressed journalists outside the restaurant of De Maria, only a few moments after his arrival on site. “The VAR evaluation confirmed what many said: Alvarez has not touched the ball. UEFA provided videos that showed this. For fans who do not want to accept this result, they have to put up with it – especially after we have spent the last 125 years to fight our place within sport,” he said.
