In the Champions League, Real Madrid, in addition to luck, also has the support of the referee, because this team often plays as champions, so in some controversial issues they get an advantage, even as it was in the cancelled penalty of Alvarez, in my opinion it is stupid to cancel such a penalty... So in order to beat Real Madrid, you need to be not only stronger than them. You also need to take into account other circumstances that can affect the result and in the case of Real Madrid, it is not only luck.

In the Champions League it is not true that Real Madrid also has the support of the referees in addition to luck.
He was lucky, there's no denying that, especially on penalties.
It is important to consider the circumstances that can influence the outcome, but i don't think the referees are corrup

Real Madrid is loved by few and hated by many, so I wasn't surprised that Cryptmuster said Real Madrid has the support of the referee that led them to beat Atletico Madrid in a penalty shootout in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League match between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. I didn't watch the Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid match, but when I watched the highlight of the match and they showed Alvarez when he was taking his penalty in slow motion, there was evidence that the ball touched Alvarez's second foot. Even some football experts agreed that Alvarez's second foot touched the ball, but since Real Madrid is hated by many football fans, they just believe that Real Madrid robbed the match.

In this individual scene of football, unlikely that the referees were preferring Real Madrid over Atletico. That was a VAR thing that ruled based on the existing rules and these rules say that touching the ball twice invalidates the kick and the shooter is out. It can be long discussed what to think about that rule, but this has nothing to do with Real Madrid having power.

But Real Madrid has power and there have been many moments in the history of Real Madrid that you can call lucky. I don't think it is as one sided as you say regarding their fans. I think there are a lot of fans loving Real Madrid and yes there are haters, but every successful club has haters or who consider Real Madrid their nemesis, like Barcelona fans.

Referee decisions have been a problem, but not only for Real Madrid. But you can see that Real Madrid lacks the uprightness when some player wins a reward and they disagree. That is bad for the best club in the world. Kids watch it and Real Marid wants to demonstrate power and I think that's not good.
