Koke defends Julián Álvarez: 'Leave him in peace'

Atlético Madrid captain Koke has urged people to leave Julián Álvarez in peace so he can play and enjoy himself. He spoke out after Tuesday's 2-1 Champions League defeat to Liverpool. The Argentine has faced scrutiny since his miss in the shootout, when the ball slipped under his boot. Koke said the forward needs calm support, not pressure, to do his job.
