Recently, Atletico Madrid CEO Miguel Angel Gill talked about the topic of Alvarez's penalty kick being invalid when playing against Real Madrid.
Miguel Angel Gill believes that one moment determines the direction of the whole season
"The team was very competitive before the week of the Champions League against Real Madrid. The previous match against Getafe showed what this match meant for the locker room. The second half ended badly by distracting another game at the beginning. The match against Real Madrid, coupled with an obvious misjudgment from the referee, determined the players, coaches and fans for the rest of the season "[3}
Some voices questioned the club's approach in this matter, but Miguel Angel Gill wanted to make it very clear what the club's head's goal is and that in the face of this situation, the club has done everything they can. "From that day, my obsession was to try to boost the morale of the players, coaches, work partners, the chairman and myself to avoid causing greater harm to other events we are still in. I fully understand all Atletico Madrid People’s disappointment and great anger. I feel the same. The anger I feel makes it difficult for me to fall asleep, but my position at the club forces me to weigh any decisions. The game will never be played again and the results will never be changed. Football is a sport composed of right and wrong. Only those who make the decision will do it right or wrong: players, coaches, referees and managers. ”
The club immediately contacted UEFA and asked for an explanation of what happened, which led to UEFA United seeks clarification with the International Football Association Council (IFAB) on the incident
"I know that urging clarification rules interpretation, like IFAB did at the request of UEFA, does not make up for the harm caused, but I do not advocate judicialization of errors, and I believe more in working to improve our field from the inside. We just saw a jurisprudence in the Women's Euro Cup to decide to punish a heavy penalty. Can this comfort Atletico? Of course not, but so that football can be better."
