On the handball VAR should have called down to have the ref have a 2nd look. Defender is saved by distance. Just too close to the struck ball to get arms out of the way. And yes, let's see if this is the standard.
It was clearly a trip.

The Turkey defender tries to make a tackle from behind and you see clear contact to the back of the Italian attackers foot.

I'm fine with the handball if that's going the be the standard but generally if your arm is away from your body it gets called, even if it's close distance or not.
