The IFAB game clarifies the rules of the game after the penalty of Julian Alvarez, canceled in the Champions League rooms against Madrid | Soccer | Sports
In the last Champions League in the quarterfinals, the last Champions League, the agency, responsible for defining football rules, has announced an amendment in Rule 14, which is directly affecting the penalties. Argentina striker slid during the batch in front of Real Madrid and hit the ball with two feetAn unusual situation that does not think clearly in control.
In its circular number 31, the IFAB explains that referees have been used so far to understand this type of actions as a double touch. However, the agency agreed that if the contact is accidental, it is a different situation, and it is unfair to leave it without regular, especially for the goalkeeper, the ball can change the trajectory and create a clear disadvantage.
Therefore, by July 2025, if the penalty is running with an accidental double touch and ends with the target, the experiment will be repeated. On the other hand, if the shot is not entered, it will be considered that it has failed or the indirect free kick is granted to the anti -free team, so far. These new words of the norm are to provide more equity and enforcement in the boundary conditions and prevent a goal from rising to the scoreboard.
Change tries to clarify the difference between second involuntary and intentional. In the latter case, that is, if another football player does so before doing so, if the player deliberately touch the ball, he will continue to apply the general permit: an indirect or penalty free kick in a batch failed.
After that incident in the Champions League rooms, Atlatico de Madrid sought explanations to UEFA Julian Alvarez’s verdict and consequence of the intervention decision will cost the semifinals for the Simion team. Then the European agency replied that the touch was low and that it would open consultation with FIFA and open the IFAB on whether to check the rule in cases where the double touch is involuntary. And he did that.
Although this is an unusual situation, IFAB wants to clarify how to deal before these plays to prevent the future confusion and maintain the spirit of the game. Referees, players and fans require clarity in the regulations, and with this update it tries to reduce subjective descriptions in decisive actions such as penalty.
