This incident understandably left Real Madrid fans frustrated, as many felt the officiating at the RCDE Stadium was unfair.

With Atlético now just one point behind Real Madrid in the La Liga standings, Simeone was asked about the Romero-Mbappé incident on Monday.

He responded, stating, “Referees have always been under scrutiny. It’s challenging to make quick decisions in those situations. Thankfully, they now have VAR to help improve things.”
