Julian Alvarez penalty: Why was Atletico Madrid spot kick disallowed in shoot-out defeat to Real Madrid? | Football News

Julian Alvarez’s kick was controversial in the defeat of the shooting on Atletico Madrid to Real Madrid in the Champions League – but why was he not allowed, and did the striker break the rules at all?

Alvarez ranked second in the Atletico list from a penalty kick in a penalty kick in the Champions League last 16, after they beat the real city competitors 1-0 in the second stage of a 2-2 draw in a total.

The Argentine went up from 12 yards, and despite the slide, he broke a penalty under the crossbar after Thepolt Courtois was unable. After more than a minute has passed, the kick was not allowed after the VAR examination, which ruled that he touched the ball with both feet while falling.

In the laws of the game on 2024/25 of IFAB, in describing the weighting procedure, it was mentioned:[A penalty] The kick is completed when the ball stops moving, getting out of play, or the referee stops playing for any crime; Kicker may not play the ball for the second time. “

In the end, this decisive rule will be fixed in shooting with real 4-2 progress on instant kicks, with Marcus Lorenti and Lucas Vazuose in the loss of sanctions on both sides.

At that time, Alvarez’s efforts were not allowed, the next trainee Federico Valverde was waiting for his own attempt for some time when the referee indicated the referee, who was in the middle of his final victory for the Champions League in Man City in 2023, to both his own feet indicated that the previous goal had been neglected.

It seems that large sections of support at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium are unaware that Alvarez’s efforts have been cut, while many audiences are wider, wondered whether it should not be heard at all.

Diego Simoni, President of Atletico Madrid, refused to criticize Mariniac and his team from officials, but he wondered whether there was conclusive evidence that Alvarez had touched the ball twice – as it seemed that a number of television angles had shown that his permanent leg might not communicate with it at all.

“I have just seen the penalty of the punishment,” he told his press conference after the match. “The referee said that when Julian intervened and kicked it, he touched the ball with his foot, but the ball did not move. This is something that must be discussed about whether it was a goal or not, but I am proud of my players.

“When his foot and kicks are planted, the ball does not move a little bit. But if it is called a fleeing, I have never seen a VAR penalty, but it is still valid, and they saw that he touched it. I want to believe that they would do that he did not touch it.”

In the risk of the journalists’ room, he added: “What did you see? Raise your hand if you think Julian had knocked twice. I didn’t talk to him.”

There was no clear sign at the beginning that Mariniak had told him VAR about a continuous check, and after the real goalkeeper Courtois admitted that he indicated the verdict that he felt that Alvarez committed the crime – which perhaps what led to the check.

“I felt that he touched the ball twice and told the referee,” he said. “It is not easy to see it. Fortune was bad for them there.”
