The side of Diego Simeone was controversial in the shootout, despite the fact that Julian Alvarez found the back of the net for the second penalty of Atletico.
His shot was ruled as a miss because the ball of his left foot Ricocherte after he initially kicked him with his right side.
According to the FA website, one of the football rules states when taking a penalty shovel: “The kicker may not play the ball again until he has touched another player.”
In a penalty shootout, this rule is changed, because the kick-taker cannot make contact at all with the ball after it initially left their boots (because this would enable players to score rebounds).
