Honest question. Why is it the VARs fault? His job is to alert the ref, and the ref then made the decision. The on-field referee should be getting blamed not the VAR. It’s the ref who makes the call.

Because it is much easier for VAR to not call the ref to the monitor, than it is for the ref to not give the penalty to PSG at PSG stadium in front of their crowd and owners.

Important to consider that a comparative situation happened earlier without VAR interference.

It is manipulative.

The ref really had one choice and that was to make the correct decision, which wasn't the right decision.
