After a defeat to Atlético Madrid, Sevilla manager Luis García claimed the referee missed a penalty against his team.

Following Sevilla's 1-3 loss to Atlético Madrid in La Liga's third matchday, Luis García attended a press conference. The Sevilla manager expressed frustration with the result and acknowledged the impact of his opponent's goals. "Very, very, very—their goals dealt us a major blow," he said. He also emphasized that "it will be a long road, we must keep moving forward" to deal with the remainder of the season.

He took a firm stance on the controversial decision, particularly regarding the penalty Sevilla claimed when Hürlmann fouled Salas in the 82nd minute. When asked about the disputed challenge, he immediately cut through any ambiguity. "Don't say 'maybe'—that was a penalty," he said. He also referenced other recent controversies in the league and called for public explanation. "It was a penalty, and I hope this incident appears in the referee's video review."

García emphasized his frustration with refereeing standards, comparing this decision to previous controversies in the match. He stated: "As the people at Athletic Bilbao said days ago, respect is respect—they said that wasn't a red card, but this was a penalty."

The transfer market was another major point in his remarks, particularly following Osso's departure. When asked about concerns regarding the team's squad composition, the manager said he has left planning to the sporting department and that the club already knows his thoughts. "He knows what I think, that's all—there's no need to say more," the manager said. The manager was frustrated by the limited room for maneuver left after the club sold players.

He explained the financial difficulties the club faces in acquiring new players under the salary cap. "All of the club's transfers have left us with significant restrictions, with little room to work," the manager stated, adding: "One player left us 8 million euros in constraints, another 6 million euros, and Osso's contract left us with almost no space." This situation severely limited the team's ability to find qualified replacement players in the transfer market. Finally, Luis García said: "Regardless of how much revenue the entire club can generate, from a competitive standpoint, it will be difficult to find a replacement for Osso." While his departure has created difficulties for the team's plans, the manager still expressed gratitude for the player. "I wish him success and good fortune. I send him an embrace from here and wish him all the best."
