The Spaniard then attempted to help the opposition player back to his feet, but the invitation wasn’t taken advantage of.

Of course, fans were quick to head to social media to voice their opinions on the matter.

One said: “How he got away with this, I don’t know.” However, another sympathized with the Atletico man, claiming: “It did not intentionally land on his hand.”
