"Koke stated, "We knew it was going to be tough, but for me, 4-0 isn't fair. The team tried to push forward; we had chances.""
"Simeone remarked, "I'm bored with talking about repetitive topics. Otherwise, we always seem like victims, and I don't feel like a victim of anything.""
Koke expressed his frustration over the officiating during Atletico Madrid's 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup. The disallowed goal from Julian Alvarez, prompted by VAR after a foul by Koke, was pivotal, according to him, as it could have changed the game’s dynamics. Despite the loss, Koke acknowledged PSG's superiority but felt the final scoreline was harsh given Atletico's efforts. Coach Simeone refrained from focusing on the referee, emphasizing that PSG was the better team without portraying Atletico as victims.
