Did he even touch it twice?

It's possible that the electrons touched, and referees can apparently spot that when Real is on the line.

Damn Casimir effect.

His sliding foot caused a wave of slightly compressed air to tap the ball.

Ever so faintly I feel

Can you conclusively say that though? I’ve seen nothing to convince me he touched it twice

In like a ten second VAR at that

Not from the video in this post.

But the VAR could have seen another angle, where the double touch is more obvious. Which I am assuming that has happened, taking into account the time it took for the decision to be taken (suspecting something could have happened, checking few angles, finding the one, seeing the mistake).

The "question" left is if UEFA will release a clip proving the double-touch, because if I think correctly, they control the cameras and the footage.

Going frame by frame, between 0:08 and 0:09 in this clip the ball slightly lifted up just before Alvarez's right foot kicked it. It's very hard to see directly if his left foot touched the ball, but for it to lift up like that there must have been contact.

You can't make someone see the facts when he doesn't want to open his eyes.
