Ally McCoist joked that it was "almost criminal" that Kvara Kvaratskhelia's stunning strike against Liverpool had to be disallowed for offside.
The Georgia international thought he had given PSG the lead in the first half when he curled a left-footed strike into the far corner of Alisson's net, but the home team's celebrations were cut short when the semi-automated offside technology deemed Kvaratskhelia to have been marginally offside in the build-up.
“What a break that is [for Liverpool]," McCoist said. "We knew it was tight. It is almost criminal to disallow that, it was such a good finish. But if it's offside, it's offside.”

Liverpool also got the rub of the green a few minutes later when Ibrahima Konate escaped a VAR check for a possible red card after appearing to shove Bradley Barcola in the back when he was the last man.
Rio Ferdinand, who was on co-commentary duty for TNT Sports, said: “That is a foul. The push is in the back, so it's a foul. If that's not a red card I'll be amazed.”
The incident was looked at by the video assistant referee for a lengthy amount of time before the on-field referee signaled for the game to continue.
“It goes in the filing cabinet of 'I've seen them given'," former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock said on BBC Radio 5 Live. "I would feel annoyed if I was a PSG player.”
