Officials found that Julian Alvarez had touched the ball twice thanks to technology that was mainly used for semi-automated outside.
Atletico Madrid collapsed from the Champions League to their bright rivals Real Madrid after a painful penalty shootout in the Wanda Metropolitano. Conor Gallagher had put the hosts in the front and the score 2-2 on aggregated after the first stage last week.
And the score remained so for the entire normal and extra time, where the two La Liga title hunters could not be separated. That forced a penalty shootout, where Real had won the previous five against their neighbors in all competitions.
Kylian Mbappe first stepped up for the European champions and sent from 12 meters, where Alexander Sorloth did the same for Athleti. Jude Bellingham really hit the front then, before Alvarez – and the fever -pitch at home – thought he had leveled it.
The striker of the ex-manchester City had slipped before he hit the ball, with his effort in the roof of the net. However, before Federico Valverde had taken his, referee Szymon Marciniak – after consultation with VAR – gave the goal that was not allowed.
Valverde did not make a mistake then, and when Marcos Llorente hit the bar, the Antonio Rudiger left to score the winning penalty, even though Jan Oblak almost saved it.
That led to wild scenes of parties for the visitors, while Athleti was left behind the enormous controversial decision. Repetitions were not convincing whether Alvarez had touched the ball twice, but CBS Sports' Fifa Rule expert Christina Unkel explained that technology could make the decision within the ball.
“It's the rule, it's simple, it's hetero, it's touched. But one thing to remember this is that the VAR also has the technology of semi-automated offside technology, where they can see that kick point and have that extra technology to say when there is a touch on that ball.
“So every time we have a strike here, we have that ability for that. There is no chip in the ball, what we saw here on the World Cup, but with that extra low technology that extra sequencing gives.
“So from a VAR perspective, they not only watch a video, but also as the contact points where semi-automated have about 26 different cameras that look at limb tracking technology, as well as a camera in itself, which gives that VAR the opportunity to be more concise and directly and know when that ball is actually touched outside the naked eye.”
Unkel continued: “So VAR will come in to the referee. The referee will always listen in the ear and wait for a VAR to say 'Check completely' before they continue with the next kick. So of course when they say:” We check, we check “, the referee keeps you down.
“So on this point VAR not only looks at the video, but also wants to see that sequencing with the semi-automated offside technology to give that confirmation, or it is not. Now I would like the referee to have seen the TV signal, but from the decision signal that the decision of the field of the field of the decision is the decision, is the decision in the field of the decision, is the decision in the field of the decision in the field of the decision in the field of the decision, is the decision in the field of the decision in the field of the decision. Decision signal in the field of the decision to sell and sell the decision and to sell the decision and to sell the decision and to sell the decision and to obtain the decision and to obtain the decision and to obtain the decision and to explain and explain the decision and to explain and explain the decision and the decision is to sell the decision and the decision is made to the decision and the decision is made to the decision and the decision is made and the decision is to make the decision and the decision is made to make the decision and the decision is made the decision and the decision is made to make the decision the decision and the decision is made to make the decision and the decision is made the decision and the decision is made to be the decision and the decision is made to be the decision. to sell and explain in the field.
Real Madrid's victory lays a draw with Arsenal in the quarterfinals in four weeks after the Gunners had packed their demolition of PSV, 2-2 pulled in the night and winning 9-3.
