I was watching the Champions League match when Julian Alvarez’s penalty was ruled out for a double touch. At first, I thought it was a regular goal, but then VAR stepped in. Turns out, his standing foot barely touched the ball before his strike. By the rules, the decision was correct—but was it fair?
This got me thinking… should UEFA change the rule for accidental double touches? It feels harsh, especially in high-pressure moments like a penalty shootout. Some say the rule is outdated, while others believe it’s just part of the game.
What do you guys think? Should UEFA change the penalty rule? Or is it fine the way it is?
I found a great article of the whole situation https://footybite.to/news/julian-alvarezs-penalty-drama-will-uefa-change-the-rule-/153
