Liverpool fans fume at two Arne Slot decisions for 'costing' them the tie in second leg vs PSG

Liverpool fans have picked out two decisions from manager Arne Slot that they are convinced cost them the tie after losing 4-0 on aggregate to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-final.

The Reds went into the second leg at Anfield 2-0 down after a disappointing first leg performance in Paris.

They posed little threat during the first half on Tuesday night, with PSG having the best chances to extend their lead.

On 65 minutes, Alexis Mac Allister went to ground in the penalty area, leading referee Maurizio Mariani to point to the spot for a penalty.

The Italian official overturned his decision, however, after consulting with the VAR monitor, much to the dismay of the Liverpool fans inside Anfield.

Slot responded by taking off Joe Gomez, who himself had only come on at half-time for Jeremie Frimpong, and replacing him with Rio Ngumoha.

Fans on social media slammed the Dutchman over his decision to not bring Ngumoha on at half-time over Cody Gakpo when replacing Alexander Isak - and think it was not the only major call he got wrong on the night.

"He's put on Gakpo and Gomez and left Mac Allister on," one fumed.

"As if it's not bad enough having to watch Mac Allister, now I have to watch Mac Allister and f***ing Gakpo," another wrote.

"Mac Allister still there Gakpo coming in, at least we can focus on top five," a third added.

While a fourth stated: "Keeping Mac Allister on as well as bringing on Gakpo is where we just 100% lost the tie completely, we won't even score going out of another competition with a whimper."

PSG went on to win the tie 2-0 through a brace from Ousmane Dembele in the second half.

Liverpool have now been knocked out of the Champions League by PSG in consecutive seasons.

They won 1-0 at Parc des Princes in the last 16 stage last season, but PSG reversed the scoreline at Anfield before winning on penalties.

They didn't need spot kicks this season, however, having been clearly dominant over both legs.

Attention will now turn solely to the Premier League for Liverpool and Slot, who will surely need to finish in top five and qualify for next season's Champions League in order to keep his job.
