The
Atlético de Madrid
He went through the penultimate final of the season, with a lot of suffering, with spirit and personality. He did it over the horn after Osasuna get ahead on the scoreboard. A goal that perhaps should not have risen to the scoreboard because just in the previous play there was a play that had to have had more punitive weight, as they understand from the mattress dressing room.
In the Athletic They have been alert for several weeks regarding the arbitration proceedings, especially after the campaign initiated by the Real Madrid, after the matter of the penalty of Militao before him Seville, which according to the regulations was well whistled after the review of the VAR. In the rojiblanco team they are aware that any bad arbitration decision in this section of the competition can cost the title. Literally.
For this reason, what happened before Osasuna, as a warning of what can happen in Valladolid, but mainly because, as we say, it could have cost the title to the Atlético de Madrid.
And is that just before Budimir scored a great goal, which had to be confirmed by the VAR, there was an action that, according to the images, does not seem to leave much room for the famous ‘interpretation’. Luis Suarez In the Navarrese box area, with the ball controlled, he meets a Unai Garcia that first grabs him at chest height, then with the reinforcement of Moncayola, who goes to help his partner, who puts his leg at the level of the right knee of the forward of the Athletic.
Garcia also puts the leg at the level of the left knee of Suarez, while with his arm he prevents the Uruguayan striker from progressing. Both players make a ‘sandwich’ to the Uruguayan who tries to get out of that situation with the ball but ends up falling, without the arm of the captain of Osasuna at no time stop being around the chest of the forward of the Athletic.
None of the Munuera He understands that it is a penalty, it is supposed that there had to be a review, but the images are so clear for the mattress dressing room, that they have not sat well and leave enough concern about what may happen in the Zorrilla stadium on the last day.
