Later PGMOL came out with a statement, admitting that there was a severe ‘human error’ that led to the lack of intervention by VAR, which has cause a major outlash among the footballing world.

Reflecting on the matter, Klopp stated that if justice were to be served, the match should be replayed.

“Something like this never happened, so that is why I think a replay is the right thing to do,” said the German.

“The audio didn’t change it at all. It is an obvious mistake. There should be solutions for that. The outcome should be a replay. But it probably won’t happen.”

“The argument against that would be it opens the gates. It is unprecedented. I’m used to wrong and difficult decisions, but something like this never happened.”
