Estrada Fernández explodes at the refereeing against Atlético de Madrid: “It’s aberrant”

Whereas the followers, gamers, teaching workers and membership administrators attempt to digest the painful elimination in opposition to Arsenal, there are increasingly voices which are raised in response to the umpteenth theft suffered by Atlético de Madrid. A number of conditions, many grey performs in favor of the Gunner group, and two or three straight ignoring the rules in favor of the house group, which paradoxically invoked truthful play within the first leg.

Many have risen as much as denounce it, amongst them very forcefully José Luis Martínez-Almeida. The mayor of Madrid clearly and clearly denounced the scenario skilled yesterday on the sector of the Emirates Stadium sport. However not solely the voices of politicians and followers have been raised within the face of the outrage dedicated by the German duo between the sector and the VAR; however a number of professionals from the world of arbitration have put their arms to their heads.

Estrada Fernández doesn’t hesitate to denounce the arbitration scandal

The previous referee, identified for the complaints filed within the Negreira case, speaks very clearly when he describes the scenario skilled yesterday by Simeone’s group: “Watch out with the tangazo on this match between Arsenal and Atlético de Madrid.” Forceful as all the time, Estrada analyzes a number of controversial performs from the sport, beginning with the “potential penalty on Giuliano.” The foul is obvious, and is canceled by an offside that doesn’t exist in any approach, because it begins from his subject. No picture has been mentioned or taken from the VAR, as a result of if it had been executed it will be completely indefensible.

He then talks concerning the distinction in standards when calling fouls, together with analyzing a potential contact from Griezmann to Leandro Trossard; factors out that, as a lot as Arsenal followers complained, it’s minimal hip-to-hip contact, unimaginable to attain as a penalty.

He ends his evaluation with a penalty play not known as in opposition to Atlético de Madrid; clearer, if potential, than the penalty taken in opposition to Giuliano: “If there may be any play we are able to present, it’s that uncalled penalty by Calafiori on Griezmann. The stomp could be very clear, it’s aberrant, it’s goal. And Daniel Siebert cannot consider something apart from calling a earlier foul in order to not have to offer that penalty to Griezmann. A earlier foul by Pubill the place the Catalan participant is the one who suffers a blow when contesting the ball, not the opposite approach round.” In abstract, Estrada reveals to us that there are two resounding penalties in favor of Atlético de Madrid that the referee and his VAR counterpart determined to disregard, provided that their readability makes it not credible that they have been perceived from both the sector or the VAR.

Atlético de Madrid has formally requested UEFA for explanations for this household motion. He did it yesterday, straight on the stadium with out ready any longer. Now we simply have to attend to see how this story finally ends up being resolved. Sadly it won’t be accurately, with Atlético de Madrid taking part in of their fourth Champions League remaining in opposition to the winner of tonight’s match.

What do you suppose? Will any motion be taken in mild of the Emirates arbitration scandal? We learn you in feedback.
