Juventus vs. Nantes: Referee Christina Unkel breaks down shocking VAR call for no penalty kick on handball
Juventus's 1-1 draw against Nantes saw a late penalty denied to the Bianconeri by the referee after a clear handball by defender Sebastien Corchia.
The referee was called by the VAR to review the play in the final minute of stoppage time to reconsider his initial decision but instead of giving the penalty for the handball, the referee gave a free kick to Nantes for a Gleison Bremer's foul on Corchia.
Bremer and midfielder Manuel Locatelli both tried to score on Juan Cuadrado's ball in and it was the former Torino defender who got his head to the ball.
At first, it seemed like a missed opportunity but after looking at the replay, it was clear that the ball was deflected by the hand of Corchia.
