Not sure that was a free kick for Juve. Although it was stupid by Hermoso to raise his arm as Bentancur was going nowhere.
They have to check the entire 'play' leading up to the penalty/red card.I'm still baffled, VAR never checks a simple foul?
So, now if you get fouled and the rival gets in the area, you can just "freely" commit a penalty to cut a clear chance, so not only you stop a chance that, otherwise, could be a potential goal, but you might get awarded a foul?.
The push either is or isn't a foul. If it is then they had to make the decision that was made and anything else would be wrong. If the push isn't a foul I think it is a yellow card and a penalty for PSG. Pushing Marcelo with straight arms has to be a foul for me.It's...i mean, it's kind of a foul, but to overturn it on VAR seems a bit excessive...
Just ridiculous all around from the ref
I get why they do it, but it's explotable.They have to check the entire 'play' leading up to the penalty/red card.
Though I think that foul wasn't that obvious to overturn the subsequent penalty.
And if he doesn't "win" the VAR check he just gave up a penalty for no reasonI get why they do it, but it's explotable.
Say Marcelo gets fouled (shoved from behind in an aerial duel) and loses the ball, he comes back and commits a foul in the area being the last defender, thinking "This is either a VAR review of the foul the did to me, or a goal", risks it and ends up winning.
Similar to the situation with Suarez in 2010, sure you're acting withing the rules of the game, but VAR should work to avoid situations where you can exploit it to your advantage?.
No VAR is also so fantastic. Clear penalty? Nah, I'll call it outside the box. 5 feet offside? Oh didn't see it, insider. Literally doesn't even make any sense, it's even easier to make shit up without VAR.Var is such a great tool for influencing games. Clear penalty? Well, let's look for a foul 2 min before that...Goal? Well, let's adjust this line a bit and his left bollock is slighly ahead, so offside! - NO GOAL haha
There would have been something immensely enjoyable watching Courtois getting sent off.I personally love how VAR worked there.
People just love to moan.

Philos Crapos Jonsos?Greek Phil Jones to the rescue...
don't get me wrong, I like VAR, I'm just amazed how quickly it introduced new issuesNo VAR is also so fantastic. Clear penalty? Nah, I'll call it outside the box. 5 feet offside? Oh didn't see it, insider. Literally doesn't even make any sense, it's even easier to make shit up without VAR.
VAR didn't change anything. Ref saw the replay and changed his decisionJust seen the PSG disallowed goal and it’s unbelievable: The foul happened right in front of the ref who waved at the player to get up. He clearly saw the incident and was unimpressed. I’m not sure VAR is supposed to re-ref the game and change decisions the referee has seen and decided upon.
More issues than an episode of Jeremy Kyledon't get me wrong, I like VAR, I'm just amazed how quickly it introduced new issues
The ref went to the monitor, saw the incident and then changed his mind.Just seen the PSG disallowed goal and it’s unbelievable: The foul happened right in front of the ref who waved at the player to get up.

That’s rather good sir!There once was a young Spud called Alli,
Who was a bit of a thug and a scally.
He turned to cack,
And got Poch the sack.
Against West Ham and Olympiakos he added to his tally.
Why thank you!That’s rather good sir!
The ref saw the original tackle and waved at the player to get the feck up. It was literally right in front of him.VAR didn't change anything. Ref saw the replay and changed his decision
Yeah, the ref is just horrid.I did too but it's still ridiculous
I'm not entirely clear if he originally changed his decision from free kick to penalty before the check? Because if so, that would mean we've got a CL ref who doesn't even know the rules he's supposed to enforce
YesRight, let's see if Jose has still got it.
I agree. I said this before, but I never warmed up to Courtois even when he was at Chelsea. He has prick-face built in pretty solidly.There would have been something immensely enjoyable watching Courtois getting sent off.
Jose agrees with youThank the Lord for Harry Kane
