Atlético Madrid player denied in shooutout against RealUefa to enter discussions with Fifa and Ifab over rule
Uefa is to ask for a review of the double touch rule on penalty kicks, after “clearly unintentional” contact from Julián Alvarez cost Atlético Madrid in their last-16 Champions League shootout.
Alvarez touched the ball with both his right and left foot in scoring past Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois on Wednesday. A VAR check overturned the strike, giving Madrid a slender advantage they went on to convert into victory.
