The European Football Association “Wiva” reported on Thursday that it is studying the possibility of legal change after the penalty shootout of Argentine striker Julian Alvarez, Atletico Madrid striker, was controversially during the confrontation of the neighbor Real Madrid in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League final.
On Wednesday, the Royal Club won the penalty shootout 4-2 after the total of the two games ended 2-2, decisive to qualify for the final quarter-finals of the continental competition, while the Argentine coach, “Roigukus”, questioned Diego Simeone, of the health of the Alvarez kick.
After returning to the auxiliary video referee “AR”, the goal was canceled, due to the presence of a double touch on the ball after Alvarez was sliding during its implementation.
“Although there was a slight friction, the player touched the ball using his standing foot before kicking it,” Wivifa announced in a statement.
He continued: “Under the current law, the auxiliary video ruling had to require the ruling to indicate that the goal should be canceled.”
But the continental federation made it clear that it would hold talks with sports lawmakers regarding the law on the dual touch.
The statement added: “The European Union will enter into discussions with the International Federation and the International Football Association to determine whether the law should be reviewed regarding the double touch when it is unintended.”
Simeone stated that he wanted to believe that the referees made the right decision regarding the penalty kick, saying: “I have never seen a penalty shootout called” AR “to review it, but well, maybe they saw that he touched it, I want to believe that, I want to believe that they saw that he touched it.”
“Let anyone raise his hand if he sees Julian to touch the ball twice. Who will raise his hand? No one raises his hand.”
