During a Go-Around from Autopilot Couple Approach, you must press TOGA button(s) AND the A/P Disc button on the yoke to disconnect the Autopilot.

Explanation:
During a go-around from a coupled approach, the TOGA switch is used to initiate the go-around and typically also releases the autopilot as part of switching from approach guidance to the go-around guidance. Because of that, you don’t need to press the autopilot-disconnect button in addition to TOGA. TOGA alone is usually sufficient to start the go-around and disengage the autopilot; AP DISC is only needed if your aircraft’s system doesn’t automatically disconnect, or if you want to manually ensure disengagement. So saying both must be pressed is not correct.
