💣🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: A second video analysis report, conducted by renowned forensic consultancy Duque & Wittmaack and commissioned by Atlético fan group Señales de Humo, has examined the footage of Julián Álvarez’s penalty. The findings mirror those of the first report: strong signs of manipulation in the video released by UEFA.
The report states: “The analyzed file does not contain essential or original VAR metadata, there is no hash or cryptographic signature to verify its originality, and its technical parameters are inconsistent with those of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). Therefore, technically, it cannot be confirmed that this video fragment is the original from the VAR. In this regard, the forensic analysis results do not rule out that the video has been edited, and thus, manipulated from the original. Furthermore, the discrepancy and incompatibility between the known technical parameters of VAR and those of the analyzed video fragment show that this was not recorded by VAR, but is instead the result of editing the original footage.”
“As mentioned, aside from not being able to verify the originality of the video provided by UEFA, after analyzing the sequence frame by frame, this expert did not observe any reaction in the ball (movement) from a possible contact with the left foot prior to the penalty being taken with the right foot. Therefore, no contact with both feet by the player involved in the action—neither simultaneous nor alternating—has been proven.”
The full report will be published in the coming days.
