Diego Simeone Refuses To Discuss VAR After Atletico’s Landslide Defeat From Madrid

DBasia.news –  Diego Simeone must surrender to see Atletico Madrid crushed with a landslide score 1-3 in the Madrid Derby against Real Madrid at Wanda Metropolitano, Atletico headquarters, on Saturday (9/2) night WIB.

Although Los Blancos managed to get three points, the victory achieved by Santiago Solari’s squad was considered controversial. Because, Los Rojiblancos was harmed by the referee’s decision to use VAR.

Atletico Madrid had to get a penalty when Jose Gimenez violated Vinicius Jr, who had not actually entered the Atleti penalty box. In addition, Alvaro Morata’s goal had to be through VAR, the 26-year-old player was already caught offside.

Even though it seems that he has been aggrieved by Xavier Estrada Fernandez’s actions which reviewed the strange events through VAR, Diego Simeone assumed that Real Madrid played better than their foster children.

I am not used to talking about VAR. This (VAR) has clearly made the match better for all parties. I absolutely do not believe that we lost because of VAR,” says Simone as quoted from Four Four Two.

We had a difficult match against Real Madrid, because they played better than us. Los Blancos played well and I want to congratulate them,” he concluded.

The defeat of Santiago Solari’s squad also made the second position of La Liga standings belonging to Los Rojiblancos be couped by Real Madrid.
