UEFA Champions League Round of 16 - 4/3/25 - 12/3/25

[TheGame]

For someone who is highly rated as a GK, Oblak isn’t great at pens.

 

[Terrific Tangerine]

I dont see his standing foot hit the ball?

Utter shîte in Reals favour yet again.

 

[Posh Red]

That’s really dodgy. Madrid do seem to get these strange calls in Europe.

 

[Deco10Legend]

If arsenal can’t do it, PSG will!

 

[Lay]

Not sure who to root for. Might root for Inter or PSG.

 

[Oly Francis]

Certainly cannot see even the slightest movement of the ball before his right foot strike

I think he shot then it hit his left foot (which lifted the ball).

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Don’t see the double hit (I’m not saying “double tap”). Right onto left?

 

[Red Devil 26]

The pain on the faces of those Atleti fans... the amount of scar tissue they have accumulated against Real in that competition is wild. Have to feel for them.

 

[GatoLoco]

It was an honest slip, did he not deserve a retake at least?

Does Steven Gerrard deserve a league for his honest slip at Palace?

 

[awop]

They showed it from the 'keepers POV on my stream and it 100% hits his standing leg.


No way you keep up with the intensity Real bring, the tie will be over after the first leg.

Possibly but we still have the second best defense in Europe and Mbappe is Saliba's b*tch (hat trick incoming).

 

[FriedClams]

Madrid would have won the shootout anyway

 

[Madridista2000]

If arsenal can’t do it, PSG will!

Arsenal PSG type of teams cannot defeat Madrid. Barcelona or Bayern in a final can do it.

 

[Pirlo'sBeard]

I'm still yet to see the double touch?

 

[RG77]

Also: I love Fede Valverde. What a player.

 

[KeanoMagicHat]

Yep, champions league is monotonous when they always fluke to win it.

Yeah, losing interest in the CL because of them, was some interest the first few times but it’s everything fecking year now they do it.

 

[Oly Francis]

Don’t see the double hit (I’m not saying “double tap”). Right onto left?

I think that's it yeah, hence why Mbappé directly said "double touch" after the shot, he probably saw the weird upward trajectory but I can't see it on video.

 

[pascell]

Would love to have seen that pov all we got was shit views

[ManUtd1999]

I can’t see the other foot touching.

 

[bstb3]

Certainly cannot see even the slightest movement of the ball before his right foot strike

I think it's more he kicks it onto his left foot, it barely affects anything but it's still a double touch. Shocking to rule it out though, it's not like it made a bean of difference to the outcome of the pen, but thems the rules. Problem is it's so damn faint of a touch and, well, it's Real, so the stink is going to be around for a while.

 

[GatoLoco]

Lucky.

Madrid vs Arsenal it is.

And that will be the end for us.

 

[TheGame]

Thought Athletico were the better team over the 2 legs but they didn’t make it count.

 

[giorno]

Sometimes you just have to say the rules are dumb

This rule is perfect though

Certainly looks like it from that angle, plus the way the ball span and went high also makes it look like it deflected off his standing foot.

 

[Ekkie Thump]

Possibly my eyes or the crap resolution but I can't really see it. Maybe, in the first angle, you can see the ball rotate clockwise a fraction?

 

[Morty_]

And that will be the end for us.

You think so? I rate Atletico higher than this Arsenal side.

 

[The Firestarter]

I seriously hope Barca dismantles these cnuts at the final.

 

[Adz_99]

And that will be the end for us.

You'll cruise past Arsenal.

 

[Dansk]

Allegedly it was detected by sensors in the ball. It's certainly not visible.

100%, could see it in real time also.

Look at the trajection and pace on the ball, it kind of zips after hitting his foot.

 

[KirkDuyt]

Lamest use of var ever.

 

[frostbite]

He hits the ball with his right foot and the ball hits his left foot and rises a little.

On the US Paramount+ channel they also explained that VAR has multiple high resolution cameras, and also software that shows where the ball was touched. It is not just what we see on TV, they have more tools.

No question about this. He slipped and it was double touch, it was correct to overturn it.

 

[Adz_99]

Sensors in the ball? Ffs.

If it's not clearly visible to the human eye then what difference does it make?

 

[lexisonfire]

I'm still waiting for a decisively clear replay of Alvarez's double touch penalty, UEFA better release the footage.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

To knock Real Madrid out the CL you basically have to batter them. You need to be 3 or 4 goals ahead with 20 minutes of the tie left.

If it's close and it could go either way you're fecked. They'll get some fluke goal or a wonder goal from nowhere or they'll get a dodgy decision go their way. It happens every year.

 

[Morty_]

I seriously hope Barca dismantles these cnuts at the final.

Assuming PSG doesn't run circles around us first, we will see.

Maybe I'm just blind but I can't tell from that angle either. My first thought when he scored was I wondered whether he double hit it due to the slip but the replays I've seen so far look to be inconclusive.

 

[bgoodall]

His standing leg slips right into the ball if you zoom in you can see it better.

 

[V.O.]

You can't see it directly from the angle, but if you look at where his left foot is in the frame before he strikes the ball, I think the ball has to have hit his left after he's struck it, it can't really go anywhere else.

Would also explain the trajectory of the shot not lining up with how he's striking it, even off balance.

 

[Deco10Legend]

I seriously hope Barca dismantles these cnuts at the final.

That would be hilarious to be fair.

 

[WeePat]

Seems a bit mad that the rule says no goal and move on instead of a retake. What’s the rule if this happens on a normal penalty in the middle of a match? Disallow the goal and award a freekick to the other team?
