Uefa is to ask for a review of the double touch rule on penalty kicks, after “clearly unintentional” contact from Julián Alvarez cost Atlético Madrid in their last-16 Champions League shootout.
Alvarez touched the ball with both his right and left foot in scoring past Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois on Wednesday. The video assistant referee overturned the effort, giving Madrid a slender advantage they went on to convert into victory.
