Overview

• A UEFA delegation visited Atlético’s training ground to brief the squad and staff on new refereeing rules.
• Diego Simeone left the session saying “Siento vergüenza” when officials refused to analyze Julián Álvarez’s contested penalty.
• Velasco Carballo presented a different example instead of the specific kick and stated a double touch occurred in the Álvarez attempt.
• Atlético players were frustrated that the briefing did not address the incident they view as decisive in their Champions League elimination to Real Madrid.
• Reporting notes prior IFAB clarification on handling involuntary double touches, while Simeone later led training and a press conference without discussing the walkout.
