“Nothing new at the Bernabéu,” Atlético tweeted on their official account, minutes after the draw at the Bernabéu. “YA VALE!”, he wrote later Antoine Griezmann, the French striker, on that same social network, emphasizing his message with capital letters attached to two hearts (red and white). Atlético exploded due to the expulsion of Correa in the derby against Madrid, which left him with one less player in the last half hour of the game, although he did score a point (1-1).
The red card that has outraged the @athletes!
Correa was sent off for this action on Rüdiger!

“The contact was not like for one of 1.94, fell fainting”, Diego Simeone, the rojiblanco coach, has also said, hurt and outraged by that performance by Gil Manzano and referring to the corpulence of Rüdiger who fell to the ground after receiving a small blow from Correa.
IT’S WORTH IT! ❤️????

“We had to, once again, not have this type of play in our favour. I still think that Gil Manzano is terrific, but we don’t know if the VAR helped him in that action”, stressed the Argentine coach. “Strange things happen,” revealed Oblak, one of the captains.

“I cannot clarify more things than what Atlético’s tweet says. I transmit what I see,” Simeone assured, appealing, yes, to the history that his team has had to live against Madrid.
This is the leg of our ‘aggressor’.

“In the first derby they were better, we reacted after the break, they sent off Mario… In the Cup they could send off Ceballos, they didn’t, they understood that it wasn’t yellow. They understood that way. There are things that are very clear, you see it.”

Atlético’s complaints did not stop there. “Last five derbies, five reds, the same in the next one we started with one less… Lately, strange things have happened,” Oblak said. “We understand it, it repeats itself, it is becoming normal and it would be good if we can all compete in the same way”, Simeone has sentenced.
