Last year, when the rule was wrongly applied to the double kick penalty from Julian Alvarez, that was even more decisive than this because it directly put Atletico Madrid out against Real Madrid.
Eventually, a very long time later, UEFA admitted that that had been got wrong.
So to be perfectly honest with you, I suspect that nothing will happen this time around.
It's not like, I mean, you can't really make anything happen.
It's not like you can go back and say, tell you what, let's start the game again.
From this point, we'll give you a penalty, we'll give you a red card, and we'll restart.
So the only thing that can happen now is that the referee gets a bit of a telling off, and the referee is basically, you know, denied the chance maybe to referee a semi-final, to referee the final, or to go to some big tournament or other.
Well, because we're talking about a Barcelona side that has to go away to Atletico Madrid and score at least twice and not concede.
We're talking about an Atletico Madrid side, and I know the most recent example of this is that Atletico Madrid side that very nearly lost the Copa del Rey semi-final because Barcelona didn't beat them 3-0.
But Barcelona beat them 3-0 at home.
And Atletico Madrid's side that in the first leg of that semi-final beat Barcelona 4-0 at home.
And Atletico Madrid's side that's put five passes for Real Madrid at home this season.
And Atletico Madrid's side that's been really, really good at home this season.
