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.
Though I think that foul wasn't that obvious to overturn the subsequent penalty.
Var can go back if it's a goal but can VAR go back that far without goal? Im sure it can't wtf
Ref reminded in his earpiece that's not how he's supposed to referee Real.
It was a ridiculous sequence all around. If he sees Gana's foul and calls it i've no problem with it, but there's absolutely no way that should be overturned on VAR check.
He also sent off Courtois which was another ridiculous decision
What he should actually have done was give PSG the penalty and a yellow to Courtois

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.
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
I 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?.
And if he doesn't "win" the VAR check he just gave up a penalty for no reason
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.
I personally love how VAR worked there.
People just love to moan.

There would have been something immensely enjoyable watching Courtois getting sent off.
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
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. 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.
Philos Crapos Jonsos?
don't get me wrong, I like VAR, I'm just amazed how quickly it introduced new issues
Is Neymar fit to play 30-45 minutes?
VAR didn't change anything. Ref saw the replay and changed his decision
More issues than an episode of Jeremy Kyle
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.

The ref went to the monitor, saw the incident and then changed his mind.
Are City playing badly? The stats look bad.
Atalanta further ahead. Gomez. 2-0.
Feck Karim 
have to bury that
have to bury thatWhy thank you!That’s rather good sir!
Right, let's see if Jose has still got it.
The ref saw the original tackle and waved at the player to get the feck up. It was literally right in front of him.
Barry Kane
Kane has equalised. 2-2.
Yeah, the ref is just horrid.I did too but it's still ridiculous

Yes
Real PSG pen incident - Var takes it away
Thank the Lord for Harry Kane
Neymar on for PSG.
How was that not a foul from Lucas? went through the player to get to the ball
Kane. It's always Kane.
Brilliant work from Lucas, mind you.
Brilliant work from Lucas, mind you.
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.
19 goals in 24 matches for Kane in the CL. Unbelievable.
Jose agrees with you
How was that not reviewed on VAR. Stonewall foul in the build up
