Atletico Madrid fan Jose Antonio Campon is not letting his team’s 2016 UEFA Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid go just yet, as he’s ready to sue European football’s governing body over the result.
As reported by Manu de Juan and Aled Bryon of AS, the Atletico fan’s gripe lies in the fact that Los Blancos defender Sergio Ramos was offside when he put Real ahead in the Milan showpiece in May. Now he’s looking for damages of €1,660 (£1,412) from UEFA.
“We demand the system to apply technical means that exist and are already used in other sports,” Campon said of the decision to award the goal. “These errors are always to the detriment of the
weak.”
The Atletico season-ticket holder also suggested Ramos’ controversial strike, awarded by English referee Mark Clattenburg, “altered the game, benefiting one of the teams.”
Per the report, Campon is seeking to be refunded the cost of his match ticket €160 (£136) as well as a further €1,500 (£1,276) for what’s described as “moral damage.”
