Why did Julián Álvarez annul the prison in the batch between Atlético and Real Madrid?

In a very confusing moment of penalty definition that Real Madrid won This Wednesday to Atlético Madrid In the party of round of 16 UEFA Champions League 2024-25 4-2, the referee annulled the goal that Argentine Julián Álvarez had turned For an assumption double touch that in no repetition could be seen with 100% clarity. The norm that governs this type of situation is The 14 of the Football Regulation, that in its paragraph number 1 Brand that, in a shot from the 12 steps“The executor will not be able to play the ball for the second time until another player has touched it.”

The consequence of a double touch in a penalty is always the cancellation of the goal. If it is during a batch, as in this case, the definition normally is invalidated and continues. If it were in a shot from the twelve steps but during the dispute of the game, an indirect free kick for the rival is charged, according to subsection 2 of Rule 14.

The situation was confusing because, at least in television broadcast, It was not seen that the judge, the Polish Szymon Marciniak (the same as the Qatar World Cup final 2022), made a clear sign that the prison was canceled. In fact, more than one learned only when the graph appeared – whether on the TV or in the electronic posters of the stadium – in which the second shot of Atlético in the batch appeared as not converted.

It was a key fact for the penalty series, which Real Madrid ended up winning 4-2 after-if we took out Álvarez-each team wasted a penalty: first Lucas for the meringue and then Marcos Llorente for the premises.
