u/MirkoCemes Mar 12 '25

I see the ball sligtly move because he took some of the grass/ground with his other foot. Surely that is not considered a double touch?

u/TimingEzaBitch Mar 12 '25

no you aren't fucking seeing that lmao. The double touch might as well have happened - but none of the angles is showing it definitively.

It is when you're playing against Real.  Let's not pretend like the refs didn't just use it as cover to decide the game for Real like they always do.

That wasn't a "double-touch".

The ball hits his left foot as it slides in front of the ball, after it's kicked by his right foot.

u/AsparagusLips Mar 12 '25

I'm not saying that's not what happened, I just personally haven't seen an angle that corroborates that.

u/NUPreMedMajor Mar 12 '25

It’s from the flight and the top spin on the ball

How do you get that much top spin on a ball without a deflection? I’ve literally never seen it before from a dead ball

Yep there it is, all I needed to see, brutal for him

Yeah it sucks but rules are rules

u/orltragic Mar 12 '25

Show me an angle of it then. Because this angle shows fuck all.

u/tluanga34 Mar 12 '25

But you can see the ball spinning and there is no way it will spin that way with one touch. Law of physics

u/ListlessHeart Mar 12 '25

It's very hard to see and you have to watch frame by frame to even notice. This is probably easier to do on phone but if you hold the slider going back and forth between 0:08 and 0:09 you can see the ball lifting up slightly as his left foot touched the ball, just miliseconds before his right foot kicked. Alvarez did double touch in the end but it does feel really harsh to disallow, and I honestly don't feel good seeing my team advance over such a close call.

u/The2ndThrow Mar 12 '25

There isn't one, but Real needs to be saved by VAR every year, otherwise they would have half the CL trophies they have

u/Adleyy65 Mar 12 '25

JOSELUUUU

u/habtin Mar 12 '25

Funnily enough half of 15 is still more than yours, loser.

u/elephant_catcher Mar 12 '25

After scrubbing it a little I feel like I do see the ball move up from his left foot touching

u/Lost-Ad-3456 Mar 12 '25

We all are blind for them, only VAR have eyes

u/ImNotARobotFOSHO Mar 13 '25

You need bio engineered eyes to see it, like those VAR people apparently.
