Arne Slot wasn't surprised Liverpool's penalty against Paris Saint-Germain was overturned as he believes "so many decisions have gone against" his club this season.
Liverpool were dumped out of the Champions League after another 2-0 quarter-final defeat to PSG at Anfield saw them beaten 4-0 on aggregate.
Liverpool produced a spirited performance that unsettled the European champions until Ousmane Dembele punished them twice late in the game. There were good moments for the Reds, especially when Alexis Mac Allister thought he had won a penalty at 0-0, only for it to controversially revoked by the referee following a VAR review.
"It's soft, but in my opinion it is a penalty," said Tim Sherwood who was watching the game on Soccer Special.
Slot, speaking to Amazon Prime, said: "I'm not surprised as 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 but 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."
Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konte said: "For me it was a clear penalty. I was behind the referee. If we get the penalty and score it would have been completely different."
Slot: The future looks good
Liverpool have failed to build on their Premier League winning season under Slot last year despite signing the likes of Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz in the summer.
Slot has come under pressure to keep his job, such has been their underperformance, and they still have a job on to secure a top-five finish in the Premier League to play Champions League football next season.
Slot said: "Much has been said that the club is in a transition. The club has sold 8-10 players to make money to sign five or so very talented players.
"We have to sell to buy. We are losing some players on a free transfer, Mo Salah and Andy Robertson.
"It is a big challenge in the summer but the club has shown this model works. As I said many times the future looks very good, especially if we can sign players after good players leaving this summer."

The stupid incompetent coach would always find excuses for his failure. Liverpool should keep him to cause more damage for the team.

It wasn't a penalty and you are championship level manager, how the hell you put isak who just returned from injury in big game like this. Ngumoha in high confidence could've done some damage if he start the match.
