A very hot and captivating classic is the one that took place this Sunday between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid, which ended tied 1-1 as a result of the goals of Luis Suárez, for Diego Simeone's, and Karim Benzemá, for Zinedine Zidane's. Why? Because all of Real Madrid protested an alleged hand in the Colchonero area, which could have been sanctioned as a penalty and could have modified the result of the match. And the day after the match, the official Twitter account of the rojiblanco team launched a challenging message.

It all started since the referee Hernández Hernández signaled the end of the match played at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium, since within Real Madrid they haven' stopped regretting the actions of the Canarian referee. Emilio Butragueño, director of institutional relations for the Whites, acknowledged that "there's a play that has ended up being decisive, I think the process is the correct one, the VAR asks Hernández Hernández to go see the play, so that he can decide, how It has to be. We understand that it is a penalty, it is evident that the ball hits the hand. He makes the decision that he considers, we haven't had luck with Hernández Hernández again", after some sectors questioned the appointment of the Canarian referee for the Madrid derby.
In this sense, the Madrid manager commented when talking about Felipe's action that "the ball clearly hits the arm, we all agree on that. From our point of view it's a penalty but there're the professionals, who are those who have to give their opinion. We don't want to say much more, it was a shame, because it was a critical moment of the game, it could have meant a draw and faced the second half in a different way. What else can we say, right? he has gone, the VAR warns him, that we think it has to be like that and that the final decision has to be made by the referee, but we have had no luck".
Given the continuity of this current of opinion almost 24 hours after the end of the match, Atlético have come out at the crossroads of criticism and words from the white team. In their social networks, the colchoneros affirm: "They criticize even the successes ... Some are used to always having the wind in their favor". At Atlético, they consider that the action that Butragueño spoke about was correctly decided by the referee team and the result of the match was fair according to what was seen on the pitch, without influencing external agents.
