Does Atletico have the right to request a penalty kick against Real Madrid?

The decision to cancel the penalty shootout, carried out by Atletico Madrid striker, Argentine Julian Alvarez (25 years old), in the face of his team against Real Madrid, last Wednesday, in the second leg of the Champions League final, a lot of controversy during the past hours, after the Polish referee, Simon Martiniak (44 years), considered after reviewing the assistant video technology “Var”, that the Argentine star touched the ball twice, before he put it in the net of the Belgian goalkeeper Thibo Courtois.

The Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo revealed today, Friday, that the club Atletico Madrid confirmed in a statement that it will not resume on the possibility of returning the match or the penalty kick, to decide to fold the page, despite the frustration resulting from the arbitration error, and the statement stated: “We have to maintain respect for arbitration, and continue to improve the system from within, through full cooperation with all institutions, not with Atletico Madrid. Excuses or turning attention, we will continue to work to achieve the upcoming goals, starting with the Barcelona match next Sunday. “

The newspaper added that the Atletico Madrid team could have taken more bolder steps, by requesting the return of the match, based on the implementation of the penalty, as the legal expert, Mikel Roca, confirmed: “If I were in their place, I would have tried to appeal the match, at least request to appeal it from the implementation of the penalty, because it was incorrectly canceled.” Fernandez, that the match cannot be returned, but the penalty shootout can be re -executed, if Atletico Madrid decides to appeal, saying: “The laws state that the penalty shootout is not considered part of the match, and then it can be returned, Atletico Madrid as the affected club, he had to make an appeal, this is a legitimate legal procedure, and that would cause obstruction of the Champions League regulation, according to the specified timetable, Which may lead to major dates. “

It appears that the interpretations presented by the European Football Association “UEFA” were not satisfied with many, as the former international referee, Itorling Gonzalez, suspended, saying: “UEFA statement contradicts itself, which puts those in charge of it in a worse stance than the arbitration error itself, they wanted to prove that the player touched the ball twice, and this is true, but the controversy is now about whether it moved or not, they say based on the rule 14.1 It should be canceled if the player touches the ball twice, but the same rule says that the ball should move clearly, but in the statement they said that it moved slightly because of the fixed foot of the player, and this does not mean that it was clearly moved. “

Itourld Gonzalez concluded his talk about UEFA’s decision to enter into discussions with the International Football Association and the Football Association Council, to determine whether the base should be reviewed in cases where the dual touch is clearly unintended, to reply, saying: “UEFA stressed that the decision to cancel the goal was true, but if you are sure of the validity of the decision, then why do you send the base to Evab to review it, if it is, if it is UEFA believes that the ruling made the right decision, so there is no need to enter into discussions to review the rule. “
