Atlético Madrid

[Flavia]

Filipe Luis ban reduced to one game, after their appeal

Remember Piqué got 4 for insults, and didn't manage any reduction, lel. Or Suárez, getting 2 from saying "waste of space". Spain.

 

[El Flaco]

WTF!?


Edit: Well played by Atlético actually, they forced the Spanish FA to be consistent.

Last season, Etxeita was banned for only 1 game after a studs up challenge on Suárez's knee.

You can bet they wouldn't be consistent if it was a Barça player. Or if the tackle was on a rm player.

This is Spain after all, folks.

 

[Vlom]

Disgusting!

So they reduced the ban due to Atleticos argument of inconsistency since Etxeita got a 1 match ban for the same thing? What about our bans for insults (Pique and Saurez)? Couldn't our argument be that players say similar things on the pitch and in the tunnel all the time and get no ban, therefore brand it as inconsistent? The inconsistent argument is bullshit to make it look a little less like Spain hate Barca, which is pretty obviously the case and it sickens me because we are the main reason the world watch their league.

 

[Cule4life]

Can't blame Atletico as their argument is correct. Ofc consistency applies to all clubs except Barca anyway

In Spain you can hurt someone physically for a one match ban, but if you hurt someone emotionally its muuuuuch more..

Nope. If you are a barca player its much more.Whether its words or physical barca players get more bans.

Stick and stones may break my bones,but words by Barca players hurt more .

Atletico in a league of their own, defensively.

Poor Frosinone goalkeeper. Like being target at a shooting range.

Bayern and Atletico are in the same league, only different styles of defending.
