Alisson, great star of Liverpool in Paris in 1/16 of UEFA Champions League first round against PSG

Liverpool's Brazilian international goalkeeper Alisson, almost single-handedly kept his team afloat against Paris Saint-Germain (0-1) on Tuesday night (5/3). The saves he made were amazing, fantastic, and it seemed that even if the game lasted ...10 hours, Alisson would not be defeated.

He was rightly named MVP of the match, stating: "Probably the best performance of my life. The coach told us how difficult it would be and we had to be ready to suffer. They have so much quality. We missed so many chances, but in the end with Harvey coming on and scoring the goal, it's incredible".


And he added: "A great story. A great night. They are a very good team. I hope we can play a better game in the second leg at home. We have to recognize the quality in the Paris team to have the ball, to create chances. It was a difficult night, but with a happy ending." Liverpool must admit that they had an extremely difficult night. The pressure from the French team's players was incredible. In fact, it is no coincidence that Luis Enrique's players had 27 shots against the Reds' goal and many of them were caught or saved by Alisson. It was the night of his life, as he said, and he is not wrong. Here it is worth emphasizing that recently the Brazilian goalkeeper has found his good self again, which is particularly important for his team. Who are chasing several trophies this season.


How fate sometimes brings them. Young Harvey Elliott came on as a substitute for Mo Salah and on his first touch with the ball he sent it into Donnarumma's net, giving an important 2-0 victory to Liverpool, who were going through difficult times. The young Harvey Elliott stressed: "Without Alisson I don't know where we would be".


For his part, the scorer who redeemed the Reds Harvey Elliott did not fail to praise Alisson who was pivotal for his team, saying: "He is the best in the world. He keeps our team alive in every game. Today was my moment to repay his trust and score the goal. Without him, I don't know where we would be. I hope he continues to keep us "alive" and take advantage of the opportunities we have."


Carragher is scathing…


Meanwhile, former international midfielder Jamie Carragher, commenting on Liverpool's victory over Paris in the UEFA Champions League round of 16, claimed that the result was unfair to the French, who had the upper hand in the match.


"It's one of the biggest robberies you'll ever see in football. I can't believe what I've just seen, PSG were absolutely brilliant, they dominated Liverpool. Alisson, he didn't just make a save tonight, it was probably the best performance of his career in a Liverpool shirt. If Liverpool win the competition, which is a big opportunity for him, this performance will be remembered for years."


The Parisians had 27 final attempts, 10 of which were on target, while they saw Kvaratskhelia's goal narrowly disallowed for offside. However, Alisson Becker produced one of the best performances of his career, carrying the burden for the English side. He made nine saves, stopping the Georgian striker Kvaratskhelia four times.
