Kun Agüero's Reaction to Julián Álvarez's Double Touch Leaves No Doubt
The former Argentine footballer commented live on Atlético de Madrid's Champions League match.
One of the most talked-about aspects of the match between Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid, for the return leg of the Champions League round of 16, is the penalty by Julián Álvarez. The '19' from Atlético managed to beat Thibaut Courtois, but he did so by touching the ball with both feet. That action means the goal is disallowed, as happened in the 'euroclassic'.
The decision by Szymon Marciniak has sparked indignation among many sectors of Atlético de Madrid, including the International Union of Atlético de Madrid Supporters. Despite these complaints, the images of Julián Álvarez's penalty leave no doubt: the forward from Calchín commits the famous double touch that nullifies his successful shot.

One of the most insightful comments regarding that decision came from a completely unexpected figure: Sergio 'Kun' Agüero. The former player of teams like FC Barcelona, Manchester City, and Atlético de Madrid followed the match at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano live and commented on the penalty shootout with sincerity.
After the Argentine striker scored his penalty, 'Kun' Agüero began to notice something was happening because "he slipped, I can't believe it. But okay, okay, okay", remarked the former Argentina forward, speaking about his compatriot's shot on the goal defended by Thibaut Courtois.
Immediate Sentence
"Goal by Julián, he falls... oh, oh, oh", warns the former Atlético striker before a discussion of the play that left doubts in the forward. "Didn't he touch it with both? No, right? Thank goodness", noted 'Kun' Agüero while Fede Valverde prepared to take the responsibility for Real Madrid's third penalty.
The reaction of Sergio Agüero suggests that the former '9' from Atlético had detected something strange in Julián Álvarez's strike. While it is true that he decided to let it go because the goal had been initially validated, he clearly expressed his doubts about his compatriot's strike from Atlético de Madrid.

"Look, they're calling him on the radio, eh", warned the now sports commentator. Szymon Marciniak received the notice that Julián Álvarez had made a double touch to score Atlético de Madrid's second penalty, so the goal had to be disallowed. "Look, I'm telling you, I think I saw..." 'Kun' Agüero points out.
"I can't believe it. You know I saw it?" the former Argentine forward concludes. Sergio 'Kun' Agüero had detected Julián Álvarez's double touch, and once the VAR had also done so, he knew that there was nothing they could do.
