Penalty analysis agency: Spider-sick free kick should be invalid, and his teammates are less than 1 meter away from Real Madrid s wall

Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid 5-2 at home in this round. Alvarez scored a double and free kick and scored a brilliant goal. However, Archivo VAR, a penalty analysis agency that focuses on studying La Liga after the game, pointed out that Alvarez's free kick should have been invalid.

The agency believes that at the moment when Alvarez sent the ball out, Atletico Madrid defender Lenorman stood next to Real Madrid's man wall and did not abide by the rule of at least one meter away from the man wall guarding the man wall. VAR on duty should have reminded the referee Rojas to look back at this moment.

Similar situations occurred in the first round of the Premier League this season. In Chelsea's 0-0 Crystal Palace game, Eze scored a free kick in the 13th minute, but in the end, Ingie's instant shot at Eze was less than one meter away from the wall. The ball was invalid and was awarded a Chelsea indirect free kick.

IFAB official rules state that when three or more defensive players form a "man wall", all offensive players must be at least 1 meter away from the "man wall" until the game starts again.
