UEFA Champions League Controversy: Penalty Disallowed

UEFA is currently exploring potential rule changes following a controversial penalty decision in the UEFA Champions League. Julián Alvarez’s penalty was disallowed due to a double touch after his standing foot made contact with the ball before striking it. This ruling has led to discussions about modifying the law to allow a retake when the double touch is deemed unintentional. UEFA is actively seeking to review the rule with FIFA and IFAB, following a tense penalty shootout between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid, which saw Madrid progress to the next stage.
