Simone spoke out in the face of the media and questioned the changes in UEFA's rules.

When Atletico Madrid encountered one of the toughest moments, head coach Simeone sat in front of COPE radio's microphone again. This was his worst start since coaching, only scored 2 points out of 9 points, and his opponents were inferior in terms of strength. Such a start has made fans doubt this younger team.

The Argentine coach talked about many topics in an interview with Juanma Castaño, which specifically mentioned a question that still makes Red and White fans feel painful: Alvarez's penalty controversy in the Champions League quarter-finals against Real Madrid.

Before the third round of the league, Atletico Madrid hosted a UEFA delegation led by former Spanish referee Carlos Velasco Carbaro, who came to Sports City to explain the new referee rules to be implemented. During this meeting, Simeone left the video explanation halfway.

Now, Simeone described the meeting in detail on COPE radio's program: "We watched a video where a player touched the ball twice while playing. Velasco said the rules will change from then on."

These words aroused Simeone's dissatisfaction: "I asked them, why can't we show us that penalty?" He refers to Alvarez's two touches in the penalty shootout against Real Madrid.

"You came to Atletico Madrid's home court, the rules were changed here because it happened on our stadium. You come and tell us that a young man fell down, kicked the ball twice, and then the rules changed, which made me feel ashamed. I stood up and walked out."
