UEFA said the correct decision was made to disallow Julian Alvarez’s penalty in Atletico Madrid’s Champions League loss to city rivals Real Madrid on Wednesday, but European football’s governing body would enter discussions to review the rule. A livid Atletico enquired with UEFA after Alvarez had his shootout penalty ruled out by the referee in its last-16 tie that saw Real advance to the quarterfinals of Europe’s elite competition. “Although minimal, the player made contact with the ball using his standing foot before kicking it,” UEFA said in a statement on Thursday. 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,” it added.
