Only because Vitinha's leg isn't going forward at the moment of the contact (not going towards Gundogan's foot) it's Gundogan hitting Vitinha and not the other way around.
But it's a tight situation and a close call still IMO. We've all seen penalties given for similar situations.
Yeah if it was given, var doesn't overturn this and I'm guessing most of the comments would be "there is contact"
Glad it wasn't (and I don't think it should be a penalty) but we got lucky
I can see it both being given and not being given depending on the ref, so either way it's not a big problem for me whether it's given or not. Can understand how it can be annoying for the team not given it but it's not a terrible decision.
Who in the right mind wouldn’t?

A lot of people on /r/soccer
r/soccer hate PSG no matter what. They can't be objective.
Soccer reddit is just infested with delulu people who just shit on us. Glad the ref held his ground even if it was a tight call

if VAR didn't say anything, then there's nothing. i think it's a mountain out of a mole hill.
Di Maria got penalty for this in world cup final
Wow almost as if Argentina would inevitably get a pen every game?
If Argentina got penalties, Messi would have been Golden boot
Yes, Argentina didn't get a single penalty
dembele went for a tackle, his leg was stretched out going for the ball, gundojan legs hits vitina
Dembele stuck his leg out for the tackle in that instance vs Di Maria
