It was in the penalty shootout of the Champions League round of 16 between Real and Atlético that the drama unfolded.
Julián Álvarez slipped when he shot Atlético's second penalty into goal. After VAR review, the goal was disallowed because Álvarez had also touched the ball with his supporting foot.
The referee said that when Julián got to the penalty spot, he touched the ball with his supporting foot, but the ball didn't move, says Diego Simeone.
To journalists on site, the Argentine shouted angrily:
Put up your hand, whoever saw Julián touch the ball twice. Who's putting up their hand? No one has put up their hand.
Atlético, who have lost two Champions League finals to "big brother" Real, won the return leg at home on Metropolitano 1–0 to force extra time and penalties.
Álvarez was responsible for one of two penalty misses for Atlético, while Real missed one. "Los blancos" will now face Arsenal in the quarterfinal.
