Diego Simeone, the manager of Atletico Madrid, has voiced his anger and displeasure over a contentious VAR call made during their most recent game against Real Madrid. Since he had never witnessed it before, Simeone questioned the decision to review a penalty in a shootout.
Speaking to the media, Simeone said, “If you witnessed Julián touching the ball twice during the penalty, raise your hand. Hurry up! And? Are you ready? No one raises theirs.

In order to emphasize his point, he asked another question: “I’ve never seen VAR call to review a penalty in a shootout.”
Simeone’s remarks draw attention to the continuous discussion regarding the function of VAR in football and how consistently it should be used.
