The controversy did not wait. At 10 minutes, Athletic already asked for the first hands. The first, because more came. In fact, they scored the final. the maximum penalty claimed up to three times for the aforementioned reason. Finally, it was granted in two.

It was not in that first action, in which Alaba was the main protagonist. “It is on the ground. It is thrown and drags it. It is not a penalty,” Iturralde González, a former referee, analyzed in Carrusel. Pedro Martín, at COPE, agreed.

The following situations, however, brought more controversy among specialists. After the restart, Soto Grado awarded a penalty for Yeray Álvarez’s hand. Iturralde coincided with the referee of the final; Pedro Martín, however, was not so clear. “We are in a football that penalizes the accident“, he assured. He did not see the decision with good eyes Dani Ruiz-Bazán, former Athletic player, who, at COPE, did not hesitate to state that “it is very easy to call Athletic that penalty”.

The last penalty claimed, and indicated, would be by the hand of Militao, who saw the red for the action. “It’s red because the ball goes to the goal,” Iturralde explained in Carousel. “I don’t understand the red, the goalkeeper was behind“, contradicted, however, Pedro Martín in COPE.
