Video Assistant Referee always causes controversy, and that was no different at Euro 2025. So how were the decisions made?

The VAR would have stepped in to tell the referee to cancel the penalty, and Pires may also have been booked for simulation. Stefanovic says that Pires even said sorry later on.
