The reversal with the penalty to Giménez that not even Klopp understood: "I was surprised by the referee's decision"

• Chronicle Ecstasy and condemnation of Atlético in the Metropolitan

• Classification This is how the Atlético group goes

Jürgen Klopp was dismissing one of the Atlético footballers one by one. Substitutes and holders. With victory in your pocket, things look differently. Of course, he stayed with his hand in the air, ready to greet Simeone who, as usual, ran in search of the locker room. Probably mulling over what had happened on the lawn. If in San Siro the arbitration coin fell on the side of the face, last night a tails came out for the rojiblancos. He was convicted of a red card and a penalty. In Milan, just the opposite had happened.

«We last week or the week before sent off a Milan player. This time we claimed what we were seeing and the referee saw expulsion and we were left with one less, "summarized Cholo, who had been taken by the demons after each of the controversial decisions. Like Profe Ortega, who could not believe that the referee, the German

, had backed down in his decision to award a penalty to Giménez. It could have been the tie.

Felipe was far from the play in which his team was left with one less. That great squad from Griezmann to

that ended up being a condemnation. 'It was a bit unfair. The red one to Griezmann should have been yellow. And the penalty for Giménez was clear, "the Brazilian central defender complained hotly. “It could be that the referee had an influence. We were in a different game before Griezmann's red card. From there we had to run 110% ”, he admitted.

Simeone also referred to some of the plays.

For example, that penalty to

: «He touches it slightly, but if they didn't charge it and he went to see the VAR, it wasn't.

Referees can be wrong like us.

If the VAR says that it is not a penalty, for me it is not a penalty, ”concluded the Argentine coach, who suffered his first defeat against Liverpool, after three clashes in almost two years.

"It is clear that he does not look at the ball"

"It was not a penalty, but I was surprised that the referee annulled it,"

maintained,

that last maximum penalty, with the referee's change of opinion after attending the VAR. «The referee decides to award a penalty in our favor, there is contact, and normally when there is contact the VAR does not have the right to call the referee. And that's what happened, ”

simplified

, also puzzled. «Obviously, an expulsion and two penalties decide a game. Competing like this, it will be difficult for them to beat this team ", added

, one of the highlights of the night.

Antoine

left with his head downcast

, whom misfortune does not finish leaving in peace. With his double he seemed to have reconciled with the fans and with himself, until the expulsion came. Another loss for Anfield, where Atlético will not be able to count on

, who will end his punishment there. "The expulsion has Antoine screwed up, he leaves the team in a very important moment, but it is clear that he looks at the ball," acknowledged Simeone, who has not won at home in Europe for a year, when he beat Leipzig. "We are all with Griezmann," they proclaimed last night from the club. Antoine already has 30 goals in Europe, three more than

and a dozen more than
