Nothing can be done if the VAR people refuse to warn him. It's not a penalty, I've told the referee. Football is a contact sport, so it's possible that you'll touch someone after clearing the ball.

"The intensity wasn't where it needed to be for the entire team. You lose a game that you didn't have to lose in the end. You can't allow the opposing squad to play with more zeal. You must go in with the intention of winning and taking the three points."

Diego Simeone, the squad's head coach, also shot down the notion that his team had one eye on City. "We got off to a good start in the game, but it was costing us," he told reporters. "We were elaborate, created danger, but they were really effective defensively." We attempted to force a draw as a result of the penalty, but it was not to be. "It's easy to blame a lack of focus, but we couldn't get past their well-organized defense."
