“I don’t know why you are surprised”

Diego Simeone, coach of Atlético de Madrid, spoke this Friday at a press conference about the controversial arbitration decisions that surrounded the Copa del Rey match in which Real Madrid and Celta de Vigo faced each other and which ended in victory for the whites.

Fouls not called at crucial moments, penalties that were not reviewed in the VAR or doubtful offsides ended up weighing down Claudio Giráldez’s team. despite having claimed all these actions.

The controversy surrounding this arbitration did not end with Munuera Montero’s final whistle, but has continued in recent hours on social networks and in press rooms. “El Cholo”, far from standing aside when faced with journalists’ questions on this issue, was blunt this Friday: “I didn’t see the game, they told me about episodes that occurred within the game, but they have been there for 100 years. I don’t know what surprises them.”
