Julian Alvarez's penalty was disallowed in the Champions League round-of-16 shootout between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, leaving fans confused as to why.

Carlo Ancelotti's side advanced on penalties 4-2, but it wasn't without controversy. 

Alvarez's penalty was chalked off, due to a 'double touch' - players are only allowed to take one touch when taking a penalty.

Having slipped, this is a very unfortunate case for Alvarez as Diego Simeone's side depart the Champions League in the harshest fashion.

Fans have spotted an incredible Diego Simeone ‘dark arts’ tactic in the Madrid derby.

With the game in the balance and Real Madrid aiming to win the tie, his side have deployed a new tactic picked up by commentary. 

When the away side are attacking and win a throw-in, the ballboy will throw another ball onto the pitch, leading to a delay in play.

Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss the Carabao Cup final this weekend, but the Liverpool right-back appears to have not sustained a serious injury, as per Mail Sport.

It is hoped that he will play for the Reds before the end of the season, with his contract currently set to run out at the end of the season.

It was reported earlier today that the player has received an official approach from Real Madrid ahead of his expiry. 

Virgil van Dijk has broken his silence on a new Liverpool contract offer after plenty of rumour.

The Liverpool captain's contract is up in the summer and much has been made about the future of the Dutch international.

Speaking to The Times, the 33-year-old said: "I have no idea. I still have no idea at the moment. Genuinely. I have no idea at the moment. 

“It is not on hold. Nothing on hold. There’s just . . . I keep saying the same thing. 

“Listen, there are ten games to go, and that is my full focus. If there is news, you guys will know it. I don’t even know myself. Everyone knows there are some conversations behind the scenes but that is about it. 

“At the moment, I don’t even know what will happen next year. If anyone says they do know, they are lying to your face.”

Fans have noticed Mo Salah's 'telling' reaction after being knocked out of the Champions League at the expense of PSG on penalties.

Taking the game to extra-time and penalties courtesy of a first-half Ousmane Dembele leveller, PSG then won the shootout thanks to two spectacular saves from goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. 

Eagle-eyed fans have noticed Salah's reaction and think it speaks volumes as the player was seen crying after the shootout.

One fan stated: "Yeah this might've been Salah's last UCL game for Liverpool."

A second added: "If this was your final UCL game at Anfield, thank you Mo Salah."

A third remarked: "If it's his last seen, it's tragic."

PSG advance to the quarter-finals.

A Liverpool star will miss the quarter-final of the Champions League should they get through.

Despite a spirited second-half performance, The Reds couldn't muster up a priceless equaliser, which would have resulted in qualification for the next round.

A late blow came in the form of an Alexis Mac Allister booking - meaning he will now serve a suspension for the first-leg - should Liverpool get through AET.

Fans have been left furious after a ‘bizarre’ decision made by a Liverpool player in PSG clash.

Going into half-time level on aggregate courtesy of Ousmane Dembele's leveller, it could have been much more - should PSG have taken their opportunities.

However, fans have been left curious at a 'bizarre' decision made by a Liverpool player - Virgil van Dijk reportedly won the coin toss but opted for his side to attack the Kop in the first-half.

Liverpool are well-renowned for attacking the famous end in the second-half, leading fans to believe that they are at a significant disadvantage this time around.
