The referee correctly waved away contact involving MbappΓ© in the box, judging it insufficient for a foul under Law 12. VAR recommended an on-field review, the referee reviewed the footage, and confirmed his original non-decision β€” no penalty kick. Under the modern VAR protocol the final on-field decision (after review) is the verdict being graded: that final decision was "no PK," and it was right. Light coming-together contact during a running duel doesn't meet the careless / reckless / excessive-force threshold of Law 12, and VAR is explicit that the on-field call stands unless evidence is clear and obvious of an error. Neither condition was present here.
