VAR protocol was broken during Real Madrid's dramatic Champions League victory against Bayern Munich.
Los Blancos came from behind with two late goals from Joselu to win on the night 2-1, and reach the Champions League final with a 4-3 aggregate victory.
There had been a time where it looked as though Bayern would force an all-German final at Wembley thanks to a brilliant finish from Alphonso Davies.
Moments later though, Carlo Ancelotti's side thought they had netted an equaliser when Nacho directed the ball towards goal and the ball deflected in off Matthijs de Ligt.
The goal was disallowed however, and TNT Sports commentator Darren Fletcher noted that protocol was broken during a VAR review of the incident.
VAR protocol was 'broken' as replays of Nacho fouling Joshua Kimmich were shown inside the Santiago Bernabeu before the referee had officially come to a decision on the incident
Real Madrid thought they had equalised immediately after Alphonso Davies' opener only for the referee to overturn the goal after judging that Kimmich had been fouled in the build-up
