Juan Musso

Juan Musso is the goalkeeper for Atlético Madrid. He is currently newsworthy due to a controversial incident during their Champions League quarterfinal match against Barcelona. In the first leg, Atlético won 2-0. In the second leg, Barcelona protested a non-penalty call in the 54th minute when Atlético's Marc Pubill handled the ball after Musso placed it on the ground to take a goal kick. Barcelona felt this should have been a penalty, especially as they were already down to 10 men. Despite Barcelona's formal complaint to UEFA regarding the refereeing in both legs, UEFA rejected it. Atlético Madrid ultimately advanced to the Champions League semifinal, winning 3-2 on aggregate, despite losing the second leg 2-1. Musso's involvement in the handball controversy has made him a central figure in the aftermath of the heated match.
