In accordance with the last modification to the regulation of the International Football Association Board (IFAB) valid from 1 July 2021, "the accidental hand that carry to a mate to mark a goal or to have an opportunity of goal no longer will consider an infringement". By the contrary, yes is sancionable the hand "when the player annotate directly with his hand/arm, although it was accidentally, even by the guardameta. Or immediately after the balloon have touched his hand/arm, even if it is accidental".
The ambiguity of the regulation follows leaving to the interpretation of the main judge or of the referees commissioned of the VAR the final sanction of this type of played.

In the case of the played of Marcos Alonso, the referees interpreted that the hand had to sanction because the balloon hits in the hand and immediately afterwards the defender finishes to the arch with his right leg and converts.

The whites expect now to the Manchester City or the Athletic, that the Wednesday will define his key in Wanda. LaLiga Already has ensured two representatives thanks to the classification of the Villarreal in front of the Bayern Munich (1-1, 2-1 global).
