'I wasn't surprised' - Slot critical of overturned Liverpool penalty

Arne Slot believes the penalty decision that was overturned by VAR in his side's second-leg defeat to PSG in the Champions League would "usually" have been given, but says Liverpool have had bad luck with refereeing decisions this season.

Liverpool's Champions League journey came to a frustrating end at Anfield, with a controversial VAR decision taking center stage in their 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. Manager Arne Slot was left to rue what he saw as another piece of bad officiating luck in a season filled with such moments.

Speaking after the match, Slot expressed his disappointment with the overturned penalty call, a pivotal moment that could have shifted the tie's momentum. "I wasn't surprised," Slot stated, suggesting a pattern has emerged. He believes that in most circumstances, the initial penalty award would have stood, but acknowledged his team's fortunes with referees have been poor this campaign.

While the aggregate scoreline of 4-0 reflects PSG's dominance over two legs, the disallowed spot-kick at a crucial juncture in the second leg will be a tough pill for the Reds to swallow as they exit Europe's premier competition.
