Real Madrid won the shooting on Wednesday 4-2 after a 2-2 draw on the aggregates to qualify for the quarter-finals, Atletico coach Diego Simeone, throwing suspicions on the decision to exclude Alvarez’s kick. The Argentinian international was considered by Var as having kicked the ball twice, touching him with his standing foot while he slipped before hitting to score.

“Although minimal, the player contacted the ball using his standing foot before kicking it,” said UEFA in a statement.

“Under the current rule, the VAR had to call the referee reporting that the objective should be refused.”

However, the European football director said that he would hold talks with sport legislators concerning the rule on double keys.

“UEFA will come into discussion with FIFA and IFAB to determine whether the rule should be examined in cases where double contact is clearly involuntary,” he added.

Simeone said he wanted to believe that officials obtained the right penalty decision.

“I have never seen a penalty where they called the Var, but well, they would have seen that he touched it, I want to believe, I want to believe that they saw that he touched it.”
