Football legislators have confirmed a change after the “double touch” sentence of Julian Alvarez who is rejected in the Shootout -Letter of Atletico Madrid against Real in the Champions League
The “Double Touch” fines have changed after the controversy that Julian Alvarez's not -Coestane kick in Atletico Madrid's Champions League Knockout -Domagen against Buren Real.
Former Man City star Alvarez had excluded his attempt from 12 Yards after he had touched the ball twice. Thousands of Atletico fans had celebrated the goal and the scoreboard in the Wanda Metropolitano showed that the shootout was the same at 2-2.
After real stars protested, referee Szymon Marciniak made the decision to exclude the goal after a VAR assessment before Real then progressed to the quarterfinals, where they were surpassed by Arsenal.
Atletico, via La Liga, had filed a complaint about the rule after their round of 16 exit. And from now on, such briefs will recapture the stairs after the legislators of the IFAB game have confirmed a change.
Article 14.1 of the laws of the game that reads: “The kicker may not play the ball again until he has touched another player. The penalty kick is completed when the ball stops moving, goes out of the game or the referee stops for each attack.”
But in a circular memo released by IFAB, clarifications are given around the rare authorities of a “double touch”.
“(When) the penalty contractor accidentally kicks the ball with both feet at the same time with both feet or the ball touches their non-clicking foot or leg immediately after the kick: if the kick is successful, it will be recaptured,” said the memo.
“If the kick is not successful, an indirect free kick is awarded (unless the referee benefits the benefit when it clearly benefits the defensive team) or, in the case of penalties (penalty shoot-out), the kick is recorded as missed.”
IFAB added that it was “understandable” that referees had so far decided to have spot kicks scored in such situations. It said that the “clarified procedures are in force for competitions that start from or after July 1”, but can be applied this month – including for the club World Cup that starts next week.
