Controversial Penalty Call Challenges Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid faced confusion and frustration after a controversial penalty call during their 3-1 Champions League loss to Lille. The decision, made by Italian referee Marco Guida, was disputed by Atletico's coach Diego Simeone and players, who argued no handball occurred by Koke Resurrección.

Atletico Madrid and their coach Diego Simeone were left in bewilderment following a disputed penalty decision in their 3-1 Champions League defeat against Lille.

The penalty, converted by Jonathan David in the 74th minute, pushed Lille to a 2-1 lead at the Metropolitano stadium on Wednesday.

Referee Marco Guida called the penalty for a handball by Atletico's Koke Resurrección, but replays suggested no such contact occurred. Questions remain, as the video assistant referee, VAR, did not lead Guida to review the footage.
