It is a fact of play that will make a long time speak in Europe. This Wednesday evening, Julian Alvarez saw his penalty refused during the penalty shootout in the round of 16 against Real Madrid (Merengues victory). The Argentinian would have touched the ball twice.

An arbitration decision that many observers are struggling to understand. The triple Ballon d'Or and Dutch legend Marco Van Basten returned to this decision on his Instagram account. For him, Julian Alvarez did not touch the ball twice.

“I am not a supporter of Real Madrid or Atlético, but Julian Alvarez only touched the ball once. UEFA must solve this problem, “ he said.

Same story for the former English striker Alan Shearer. “” I looked at the penalty of Julián Álvarez more than 100 times and I still cannot find a conclusive evidence that he touched the ball twice. It is completely absurd. »» Consequence? With this missed penalty, Casa Blanca had taken the advantage during the penalty shootout and allowed the Madrid to qualify later for the quarter -finals. This case has not finished making people talk …

In the meantime, Atletico de Madrid must recover and bounce back this Sunday evening during the shock against FC Barcelona on behalf of the 28th day of Liga. In case of success, the Colchoneros would pass in front of the Catalan club in the classification (the two clubs have a point, 56 against 57).
