Following the controversial disallowance of Julián Álvarez's penalty kick during the Champions League match between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid, UEFA announced that it will discuss potential rule changes regarding double touches. The penalty was ruled out after VAR determined Álvarez had kicked the ball twice as he slipped. This decision sparked protests from Atlético's coach Diego Simeone and confusion among fans. UEFA acknowledged the issue and will engage with FIFA and IFAB to assess the necessity of reviewing the current rules.
"Atlético de Madrid enquired with UEFA over the incident, which led to the disallowance of the kick from the penalty mark taken by Julián Alvarez..."
"UEFA will enter discussions with FIFA and IFAB to determine whether the rule should be reviewed in cases where a double touch is clearly unintentional."
