"Slot expressed, "I'm not surprised. So many decisions have gone against us this season. It's quite simple. If the referee doesn't give a penalty the VAR would have never overturned it.""
"Slot noted, "I've seen so many soft penalties given, but people say VAR can't interfere because there is contact. That is what we clearly see.""
"The VAR intervention was controversial because there was contact by Pacho on the back of Mac Allister's boot. You can argue whether that was enough to cause the Liverpool player to fall over, but usually contact means there should be no clear and obvious error."
"In fairness to Slot, he did concede that his side were fortunate in the first leg. A PSG penalty was overturned and another claim could have been given."
Arne Slot's Liverpool faced a controversial VAR decision during their match against Paris St-Germain, where a potential penalty was overturned. Slot expressed frustration over the season's trend of unfavorable calls, noting that similar situations had not prompted VAR intervention. The incident involved Alexis Mac Allister, who fell after contact from PSG's Willian Pacho. Despite the overturning of the penalty, Slot acknowledged that his team had previously benefited from VAR decisions. Ultimately, PSG won the match 2-0 and the tie 4-0 on aggregate.
