MADRID (Reuters) -UEFA said the correct decision was made to disallow Julian Alvarez's penalty in Atletico Madrid's Champions League loss to city rivals Real Madrid on Wednesday but European soccer's governing body would enter discussions to review the rule.

Alvarez thought he had scored from the spot during the penalty shootout in his side's Champions League last-16 defeat to Real Madrid.

UEFA have confirmed they will hold talks with FIFA and IFAB over the double-touch penalty rule after the Julian Alvarez controversy on Wednesday. Alvarez’s penalty for Atletico in their shootout defeat to Real Madrid was ruled out after he was adjudged to have kicked the ball twice as he slipped.
