Wifa is studying a modification of the penalty kicks

The European Football Association “Wiva” said today, Thursday, that it is studying the possibility of legal change after the penalty shootout of Argentine striker Julian Alvares, Atletico Madrid striker, was controversially during the confrontation of the neighbor Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League football final.

And Real Madrid won, yesterday, Wednesday, with the penalty kicks 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 Argentine Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone questioned the validity of the cancellation of Alvares penalty.

The referee canceled the goal after returning to the assistant video referee, “Far”, due to the presence of a double touch on the ball after Alvares was slipped during its implementation.

“Although there was a slight friction, the player touched the ball using his standing foot before kicking it,” Wivifa said, 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 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 dual touch when it is unintended.”

Simeone, who has been leading Atletico since 2011, told reporters that he wanted to believe that the referees made the right decision regarding the penalty kick, adding, “I have never seen a penalty shootout kick that would be called the” fleeing “to review it, but well, perhaps they saw that he touched it, (…), I want to believe that they saw that he touched it.”
