Was it a double hit by Alvarez or not? TNT Sports releases new footage to end the debate

Yesterday (March 12), Atletico Madrid suffered a dramatic elimination from the Champions League, losing on penalties to Real Madrid.

The episode that caused the most discussion was Julian Alvarez's penalty, which was overturned by VAR.


The reason for this was the fact that Alvarez accidentally touched the ball twice during the shot.

The second touch was not even visible from replays during the game, but video released by TNT Sports, which is appearing online, suggests that the VAR decision was correct.

A moment before Alvarez shot, he touched the ball slightly with his left foot.

There was much controversy that the Argentine striker had put his foot away from the ball, but it seems that the debate about this penalty has now ended. /Telegraph/
