Quite a controversial episode at the 61st minute of Real Madrid-Juventus (HERE IS OUR LIVE).

Right after Bellingham's goal, Brahim Díaz tackles Khephren Thuram hard, bringing him down with a clearly late challenge.

The Frenchman - in pain - remains on the ground and the referee shows a yellow card to the former Milan player, but there is a feeling that the card might be wrong.

Brahim Díaz's foot dangerously rises and hits Thuram's shin fully, risking causing him a serious injury. Even Giampaolo Calvarese, Prime Video's video analyst, judged Slavko Vincic's decision as wrong.

From the images, it is clear that the referee had an unobstructed view of the action, and it raises more than a doubt that the VAR did not intervene for a possible review.
