The second leg of the round of 16 strongest teams of the 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid took place on Tuesday (Korea time). Having lost the first away match 1-2, Atletico Madrid secured the second home match 1-0, making the first and second matches 2-2 overall. The extra 30 minutes were 0-0.
The owner of the ticket to the quarterfinals was decided by a penalty shootout.
Julián Álvarez served as Atletico Madrid's second kicker. Álvarez's shot hit the post and was sucked into the net. Real Madrid players, however, raised two fingers to protest, and Álvarez's goal was canceled after VAR.
This is because Alvarez slipped and touched the left foot first while kicking. Since then, he shot with his right foot, so it was a double touch.
In the end, Atletico Madrid lost the penalty shootout 2-4.
Atletico Madrid strongly protested. "The ball did not move. I have never seen VAR in the shootout," said Diego Simeone. Atletico Madrid made an official inquiry to UEFA about the double-touch situation.
UEFA's answer was "double touch."
Attached to the video, UEFA said in a statement on the 14th, "Atletico Madrid inquired about the cancellation of Álvarez's penalty shootout goal. In the attached video, contact was minimized, but he clearly touched the ball with his stepping foot before kicking the ball. According to the rules, VAR had to send a signal to the referee not to allow a goal." 스포츠토토
"We will discuss the review of regulations on unintended double touches with FIFA and the International Football Council (IFAB)," he continued.
