You tried to rob the match… thank goodness for VAR, because that penalty and handball decisions were outrageous.

Solda also criticised officiating, stating:

Without the robbery attempt against Atlético, it would have been a different game… everything was going in your favour.

the worst part is you’ll think you were robbed, when the first red card should have gone the other way.

That’s what you get after two months of switching off… now the consequences are showing.
