Liverpool GK Alisson tips game against PSG as best of his life

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker rated his heroics against Paris Saint-Germain as the best performance of his life. The Reds registered a 1-0 win in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 while playing at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday.

The Brazilian made as many as nine saves to keep the home side at bay. PSG took a total of 10 shots on target as they dominated the possession with 71% but Becker was like a wall in front of the goal.

Harvey Elliott scored the only goal of the evening in the 87th minute to give an advantage to Arne Slot’s team.

Asked whether he felt it was his best performance of the season so far, Alisson told TNT Sports: “Yeah, probably of my life I think … The manager was telling us how hard it would be to play against PSG, how good they are with the ball. We have to be ready to suffer. So when you see the clips as well from the opponent to know what is coming, so much quality on their side. But we as well, we work hard.”

Meanwhile, Alisson’s nine saves were the most by a goalkeeper who also kept a clean sheet in a Champions League game this season.

“All the effort the team puts in and at the end, like Harvey coming in and scoring the goal, it’s unbelievable,” Alisson continued. “A great story for us, A great night.”

The team’s head coach Arne Slot showered praise on his custodian for his scintillating show.

“I don’t think I’ve worked with a goalkeeper who has played at this level, which is normal [because] he is the best in the world,” Slot said. “I’ve had some very good players as a manager, but I’ve never had the best goalkeeper in the world, and that I think he is. He showed that today.”

Liverpool will next take on Southampton at the Anfield on Saturday.
