Atlético Madrid files formal complaint with UEFA over penalty awarded to Lille

‘Colchoneros’ do not understand why the penalty was awarded, asking for explanations about the alleged infraction

A few hours after the surprising 1-3 home defeat against Lille , Atlético Madrid filed a formal complaint with UEFA this Thursday. This was due to the penalty in favor of the opponent, towards the end of the game, which gave the French the advantage when the score was tied at 1-1.
According to the Efe agency, the colchoneros stated that they “do not understand” what led the refereeing team to award this penalty kick. In this move, Angel Gomes makes a small touch from Koke ‘s foot , and the Portuguese-Englishman still touches the ball with his hand, moments before.

However, Marco Guida, the main referee, awarded a penalty at the Metropolitano and Jonathan David converted it. Diego Simeone and other Spanish players were stunned by the decision after the final whistle, ensuring that it was not the case.
