Julian Alvarez&rsquo;s penalty for Atletico was disallowed in a bizarre fashion, which eventually led to Real Madrid winning 4-2 on penalties.<\/p><p>Alvarez stepped up to take Atletico&rsquo;s second penalty after Jude Bellingham successfully converted his. Although he scored despite slipping, it was later ruled that the Argentine had made two touches on the ball before shooting.<\/p><p>Referee Szymon Marciniak, who missed this in real time, was made to refer it to the VAR.&nbsp;Following the check, it was concluded that the goal would be ruled out because of the double touch. There wasn&rsquo;t much complaining done by Atletico Madrid after the verdict at the time either.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&Aacute;lvarez's penalty is overturned by VAR after a double touch &#128563;<br><br>&#128250; Watch the Champions League LIVE on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tntsports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@tntsports<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/discoveryplusUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@discoveryplusUK<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/q7Rs0ngfX7\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/q7Rs0ngfX7<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/footballontnt\/status\/1899954773140377842?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>March 12, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Also Read:<\/h4><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/where-is-the-champions-league-final-2025-uefa-champions-league-2025-final-location-date-and-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Where is the Champions League Final 2025?
