Julián Álvarez shared his thoughts following Atlético Madrid's dramatic exit from the UEFA Champions League after a penalty shootout loss to Real Madrid.
He remarked, "It’s painful to be eliminated, especially after giving our all until the very end. However, we demonstrated our values as a team throughout the competition."
Reflecting on the match, which ended 1-0 in favor of Atlético Madrid during regular time but saw Real Madrid advance 4-2 on penalties, Álvarez expressed gratitude to the supporters: "A heartfelt thanks to our fans for making every game an unforgettable experience."
The match was not without controversy. Álvarez's penalty during the shootout was disallowed after VAR determined he had unintentionally touched the ball twice due to a slip. This decision proved pivotal, as it denied Atlético a chance to level the shootout at 2-2. Despite the setback, Álvarez displayed sportsmanship, concluding with, "Congratulations to Real Madrid." 🤝
