IFAB officially announced Atletico Madrid s misjudgment of penalty kick! Football penalty dilemma behind Alvarez s unjust case

But the demands behind the controversy should not be ignored: what fans want is not absolutely correct punishment, but fairness that can be seen. While the UEFA referee report is still vague, and when the original video is still sleeping in a server, football is losing its most precious thing - the pure belief that ordinary people believe in miracles and their efforts will pay off. Perhaps as Raos said, "Real fairness is to allow everyone to see the world that the referee sees." And is that world really as transparent as we imagined?

In this age of streaming, every fan may become the eye of the referee. When cell phone lenses capture the truth earlier than VAR, and when discussions on social platforms are more influential than official statements, should football's penalty system usher in a bottom-up revolution? Perhaps next time, when the dispute comes again, we can sigh less "unfairly injustice" and more "rules first" conviction - no matter who the result is beneficial to.

After all, the reason why football is obsessed is never because it is absolutely correct, but because we always believe that a better story will happen in the next moment.
