UEFA will start discussions with FIFA and IFAB to review whether penalties scored should stand when double touches are unintentional.
The talks come after Julian Alvarez’s spot kick was controversially ruled out in Atletico Madrid’s 4-2 Champions League shoot-out defeat to Real Madrid on Wednesday.
Despite slipping, the Argentina forward managed to score his penalty, but the VAR ruled out the goal because Alvarez was deemed to have touched the ball with both feet. Real Madrid then went on to clinch the last-16 tie and set up a quarter-final with Arsenal.

Honestly, even if the double touch were intentional, just let the player retake it. With current tech no way the player can dupe the refs by a double touch they don’t call.
Unintentional doesn’t matter it’s a double touch ,
my own opinion here.. but heres the take.. if a player(any) intentionally was to try and take a shot "like this" they would likely not have the power to score.. this was a slip, and at worst should have been a retaken shot .. that said, if this is ruled a "double touch" then realistically they have to review every single player that does their silly run ups (all the greats of late included even my favorite cr7) as MOST of them make a momentary stop start which should in theory be ruled as a missed penalty chance given the so called rules.. but they dont.. they let them do it and again so many actively take a stop.. let the keeper go a way.. then shoot mediocre at best pens to the opposite side.. its ruined much of the fun for me.. i dont really enjoy penalties tbh as a whole, but i understand their place at the end of a game that played 120 min .. no one can still play at their best at that juncture.. but to then turn it into a mockery and give these talented keepers no chance to save is wild.. where has the game gone? its turned quickly into every other american sport (im american btw) which is all about the betting.. until recently i havent really seen that, and sure there has been ref cheating and i would even say players who bottle the shot etc for their master, but i think many still play with integrity, and for them i really feel bad, as well as us fans who watch week in and week out expecting to see some of our favorite athletes play their butts off.. just my take, sorry if you disagree
You can’t put intention behind double touching, you either do or you don’t….
Read the Lof the G and it is very clear! What is wrong with you!
Just because you don't like the result does it not make it wrong!!
Any advance ref course covers this clearly!
Football has become a farce ,and extremely boring it's a circus now but millions still watch when the real football is in the lower leagues
He did not touch the ball twice. No reason to keep spreading that lie
It's Fraud. Fire the VAR group and fine them
If allowed to pass and score why not this beautiful pass to your self is illegal?
This is why the Real Madrid has some many UEFA Champions League trophies
With fair treatment from Fifa I can give them as much as 3 total
Soccer has some absurd rules. If it was unintentional and the ball didn't even more, who gives af?
Incompetent and corrupt.
He never touched it …simple as that!
Let's say in another universe he did touch it. The ball never moved and therefore his goal was unaffected by the supposed touch with other foot.
I would understand if the ball's movement by a few inches changed the trajectory of it towards the goal…but it never happened.
Simple fact is Vardrid got their "robbed" win as always! …what's new?!?!
Messi scored one like that during the World Cup…
If no problem, make one. He touched 2x, perfectly avoidable, never heard of before, his own fault, right decision.
Yet every day penalties are given when hand ball is unintentional.
The rule used to be it had to be deliberate hand ball but now penalty when ball hits the hand/shoulder when player is clearly trying to avoid it.
Need some consistency in y the laws.
Double touch is against the rules what is the problem?
A rule's a rule. if you slip and double tap it, tough. No goal. It happens SO infrequently that bringing in a new rule allowing it is insanity. It was a good spot by Mbappe, and as I said, TOUGH!
Well…What's the fake news about a rule change. Touch it once mate. And what's this taking his hat off for/to Simeone? Has Simeone changed his spots?
He touched the ball twice, and you are crying. Rules are rules.
Yeah. Sure, after we let Madrid through like always. Pathetic money touch.
Uafa only favour real Madrid
Alvarez has admitted he touched the ball football with his left foot before kicking with right so non intention but ref. Should have retaken the kick.
Uefa "…but but but, we need RM. Biz comes first aint that right boys?"😊
Better they replay this game. Real win was not straight
Get it right Sky Sports,there are no football Laws,they're called Rules,there's a big difference, and you call yourselves a sports channel ffs
bull he did not touch it I have the original video VAR modified the video after wards a few days later
