Real Madrid’s qualification for the quarterfinals at the expense of Atletico Madrid was partly due to Julian Alvarez’s disallowed penalty. At the end of the match, Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga reflected on the situation.
Real Madrid reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League after a thrilling tie. After a 1-1 aggregate draw, a penalty shootout was needed to decide the tie.
Real Madrid, who took the second penalty for the Colchoneros, had his goal disallowed. And for good reason: the Argentinian touched the ball twice after sliding. This disallowed goal ultimately cost his club qualification.
Real Madrid’s team prevailed
Victorious and euphoric, Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga reflected on Julian Alvarez’s controversial penalty.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen two touches on a penalty! It was a pressure-filled session. The most important thing is the victory!
Even if Rudiger still shot in a strange way,” he said. The French international made a remarkable debut against Atletico.
In place of the ever-present Luka Modric, Camavinga rebalanced the Real Madrid midfield.
These playmaking abilities allowed the Merengues forwards to get a head start on the Colchoneros’ defense.
The legendary solidity of Diego Simeone’s players, however, forced the two teams to settle on penalties.
After Real Madrid’s grueling victory, Eduardo Camavinga preferred to emphasize the strength of the Madrid team.
“We’re still suffering. We played as a team, that’s the most important thing to remember, besides the victory,” he concluded. In the quarterfinals, Real Madrid will face the Arsenal Gunners.
