Atletico Madrid responds to Real’s criticism
There has been a great deal of debate over Alejandro Hernandez’s decision not to award the penalty in favor of Real Madrid on Sunday for a potential handball.
Emilio Butragueno, Real Madrid’s director of institutional relations, criticized the referee’s decision to stick to his original call even after watching the VAR, and several other prominent Real Madrid fans have hit the official as well.
However, Atletico Madrid, as well as arbitration expert Juan Andujar Oliver believe the decision was correct. They think it was an involuntary hand touch from Felipe and now they have returned the answer.
“They even criticize the right decisions… Some are used to always smelling in their favor.” the club wrote on Twitter.
