Arne Slot, Liverpool's manager, expressed his disappointment with the VAR decision to overturn a penalty awarded to his team in their Champions League quarter-final match against Paris Saint-Germain. Despite a spirited performance, Liverpool were defeated 2-0 at Anfield, resulting in a 4-0 aggregate loss.
Slot believes that numerous decisions have gone against his team this season, including the controversial penalty call. He stated, 'It's quite simple. If the referee doesn't give a penalty, the VAR would have never overturned it.' Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate also felt that the penalty decision was incorrect, saying, 'For me, it was a clear penalty.' The match marked another setback for Liverpool, who have struggled to build on their Premier League winning season under Slot last year.
With the club in transition, Slot faces pressure to secure a top-five finish in the Premier League to ensure Champions League football next season.
