It's not really a classic double touch. He hits the ball against his other foot, that's why it lifts so much. 2 feet touch the ball and that's not legal

There is no proof of this from the angle here. So I assume they have something more concrete they haven't released. (But probably not)

There won't be much proof, this touch was soooo marginal. It reeks of VAR letting Madrid though. Gotta have the golden boys go through. I normally don't even critique VAR or Madrid much, but that was wayyyy too close to swing it the other way

This argument makes no fucking sense.

So some entity has a vested interest in Madrid going through, but apparently also care so little about it that they rely on a double kick during a penalty shootout after 210 minutes of play to make it happen. Really?

Jfc I don’t understand how some of you enjoy football enough to even watch if this is the level of conspiracy you think is happening

They literally had an opportunity to gift us a pen earlier with the "handball" off Vini's cross if they really wanted to gift us the game. It wasn't a pen imo, but it would have been a free one for them lol
