Atlético Publishes Its Own Review After Referees’ Video Skips Key Derby Incident

The club is challenging the league’s explanation process for contentious calls, focusing attention on how clips are chosen and why VAR steps in.

Overview

  • CTAR, which released its official Tiempo de Revisión explainer video on Tuesday, left out the possible penalty on Marcos Llorente from the Madrid derby.
  • Atlético responded by posting a six‑clip “review” thread that mocked a pro‑Real “maquinaria” and highlighted plays it says were called with biased criteria.
  • The club questioned foul statistics by pointing to reports that listed only two fouls against Real Madrid compared with far higher totals for Atlético, though figures varied by outlet.
  • The derby finished 3-2 to Real Madrid on Sunday, and controversy centered on a non-awarded penalty for Llorente and a spot kick given for David Hancko’s foul on Brahim Díaz.
  • The public escalation increases pressure on Spain’s refereeing body to explain how Tiempo de Revisión selects incidents and when VAR intervenes in comparable plays.
