This video can not be played Media caption, 'I wasn't surprised' - Slot critical of overturned Liverpool penalty By Dale Johnson Football issues correspondent Published 24 minutes ago 94 Comments It could have been very different for Arne Slot's Liverpool against Paris St-Germain on Tuesday night.

Trailing 2-0 from the first leg, the Reds were given a 64th-minute spot-kick which might have transformed the tie. Then the video assistant referee (VAR) stepped in to tell referee Maurizio Mariani he had made a mistake. For Slot, it was the story of his season.

The Dutchman feels his team have conceded penalties in similar circumstances, with little contact but no VAR intervention. Five minutes after play restarted, Ousmane Dembele scored and PSG went on to win 2-0 on the night, and 4-0 on aggregate. "I'm not surprised," Slot said.

"So many decisions have gone against us this season. If the referee doesn't give a penalty the VAR would have never overturned it. "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. " Is Slot right to feel hard done by? What happened at Anfield?

The controversial moment came Alexis Mac Allister went to claim a loose ball inside the area. The Argentina international placed his body in front of PSG defender Willian Pacho, before going to ground. Mariani pointed to the spot but the VAR, Marco di Bello, very quickly sent him to the pitchside monitor.

A 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. So why might there have been an intervention?

The bedrock of a review is how the referee describes the incident to the VAR. Did the referee give it for a push? We will never know, but the description had to be of material difference to what the pictures showed for the VAR to get involved.
