New penalty rule in football after UCL controversy: What you need to know
A recent clarification to the rules of football concerning penalty kicks has been issued following a controversial incident involving Julián Álvarez in a Champions League knockout match earlier this year. The change will officially take effect in UEFA competitions starting Wednesday, as Germany faces Portugal in the UEFA Nations League semi-final in Munich. The update, announced by UEFA and based on guidelines from the International Football Association Board (IFAB), addresses an unusual situation during a penalty shootout when Álvarez, playing for Atlético Madrid, slipped and unintentionally struck the ball twice. In the Champions League round of 16 against Real Madrid, Álvarez's initial kick deflected off his standing foot and looped into the net past goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. While the goal was initially celebrated, a VAR review disallowed it, citing a double touch, a decision that proved crucial in Atlético's eventual elimination. What does the new penalty kick rule say? In a statement, IFAB noted that such occurrences are rare but not directly addressed in the existing laws. 'This part of Law 14 is primarily intended for situations where the penalty taker deliberately touches the ball a second time before it has touched another player,' the board explained. Under the new interpretation, if a player scores a penalty after an accidental second touch, like slipping and unintentionally contacting the ball twice, the penalty must now be retaken, rather than ruled as a miss. However, if the double-touched penalty does not result in a goal, the outcome remains unchanged: during a shootout, it will be marked as missed; during regular play, a free kick will be awarded to the opposing team. This updated rule will also apply at the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, which begins on June 14 in the United States, featuring 32 teams, including Atlético Madrid. IFAB, made up of FIFA and the four British football associations, governs global football laws and requires six out of eight votes to enact rule changes.

IFAB updates laws on penalty kicks after Alvarez's UCL incident: Rule-change explained
The laws of football on taking a penalty kick were clarified on Tuesday after Julián Álvarez's accidental double touch helped to eliminate Atletico Madrid from the Champions League. What is the update? The update published by FIFA-backed rules panel IFAB means the kind of penalty Átletico forward Álvarez had disallowed after scoring in a shootout against Real Madrid in March should now be retaken. Álvarez slipped and kicked the ball against his standing left foot in the shootout in the Champions League round of 16.

The laws of football relating to the penalty kick and penalty shootout were seen as correctly applied in Madrid in March, though too vaguely worded. The incident was widely judged to have been unfair as Álvarez did not deliberately slip and take the double touch to gain an advantage. What did IFAB say? 'This situation is rare, and as it is not directly covered in Law 14, referees have understandably tended to penalize the kicker,' IFAB said in a statement. 'However, this part of Law 14 is primarily intended for situations where the penalty taker deliberately touches the ball a second time before it has touched another player.' IFAB clarified in a circular letter to football stakeholders that a penalty kick, which is scored now after an accidental double touch, should be retaken.

In a shootout, such a penalty 'is recorded as missed,' IFAB said, and during regulation time or extra time, a free kick can be awarded to the defending team. The clarified rule will apply at the Club World Cup, which starts on June 14 in the United States. The 32-team lineup includes Atletico. IFAB is comprised of FIFA plus the four British football federations. Rules can be changed with six of the eight votes, which are distributed by four to FIFA and one each to the British.
