Atletico Madrid was knocked out of the Champions League after losing to Real in a penalty shootout. The decision by the referee and VAR not to award Julian Alvarez's penalty against Real due to an alleged double touch was widely discussed by experts and fans.
The Atletico forward himself believes that the rules for taking penalties should be a bit clearer.
Quote. "I think this rule should be a bit clearer. Because I'm not trying to gain any advantage, and sometimes when the goalkeeper saves, it keeps happening when he steps forward. I'm not trying to gain any advantage in this situation. But the rules need to be clearer. It's sad that it happened this way," Alvarez said after the Argentina national team match.
Reminder. Despite the protests over the penalty decision against Alvarez, Real Madrid advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals, winning 4-2 after the penalty shootout.
