Dani Ceballos, who was left out of the squad for the derby due to injury, took to social media to troll Simeone after the match regarding Julián Álvarez's disallowed penalty during the shootout. The midfielder watched the game from behind the Real Madrid bench with other players not called up. After the match, he picked up his phone to respond.
Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone, visibly frustrated, directly questioned reporters at the press conference, asking, "Raise your hand if you saw Julián touch the ball twice! Raise your hand! Nobody raises it!"
The video clip of Simeone’s outburst quickly went viral on social media. Ceballos responded with a raised-hand emoji, as if answering Simeone’s question, signaling that he had indeed seen Julián Álvarez touch the ball twice on his penalty shot.
