Jurgen Klopp was not very happy with the VAR despite being one of the more pro-VAR managers. In his opinion, it took a long time for the VAR to make difficult decisions in Denmark.

Liverpool, who have not got anything to play for, drew 1-1 in Denmark against Midtylland. Despite the fact Salah scored an early goal, the Danes got the equaliser in the second period. 

The clash was quite controversial, but the VAR took a long time to make key decisions. For Klopp, who has been defending the VAR for a long time, it took too long. 

"I said that the VAR was a good idea, but I'm not sure now I would say the same. It was too cold and they took a long time to make the decisions," the Liverpool boss complained. 

As well as the disallowed goal, the VAR was also key in giving the hosts a penalty which allowed them to equalise in the second period.
