Simeone: Is there someone who saw Alvarez's double touch?

“Los Blancos” won 4-2 in penalty after a total draw of 2-2 on, with Alvarez slipping as he scored from the penalty. THE VAR expelled him for an alleged double touch of ball.

“Arbitri said when Julian arrived at the penalty point, he touched the ball with his leg, but the ball did not move”, Simeon told reporters at the conference after the match. “But beyond that, which now serves only to discuss whether it should have calculated or not, I'm proud of my players, I'm happy, really. Why? Because we competed in an exemplary way. And yes, we couldn't get Real Madrid into the Champions League, of course, we couldn't, but they had a very bad time against us again”, Simeon added further.

Atletico's coach said he wanted to believe officials made the right penalty decision.

I've never seen a penalty when they called FAR, but well, they would have seen that he touched it, I want to believe, I want to believe they saw that he touched it”.

The coach asked members of the media to raise their hands if they had seen a repeat in which it was clear that Alvarez had touched the ball twice.

If anyone has seen Julian touch it twice, who will raise his hand? No one has raised hands “, Simeon exclaimed.
