NewzFollowing a 2-2 draw between Atlético de Madrid and Villarreal on Sunday, goalkeeper Jan Oblak expressed frustration regarding the officiating. The match was significantly impacted by two penalty decisions awarded against his team, which Oblak identified as the primary source of tension during the contest.
Oblak argued that the standard applied to these calls was overly rigorous. He stated that if officials intend to penalize every instance of pushing and physical contact within the penalty area, it would result in an unsustainable number of spot kicks, suggesting that such officiating would lead to 300 penalties per match.
