Alisson: “Best performance of my life”

Alisson made nine saves to deny PSG a well-earned victory in the first leg of their Round of 16 tie.

The Brazil international’s nine saves were the most by a goalkeeper who also kept a clean sheet in a Champions League game this season.

Harvey Elliott then scored an 87th-minute winner, which gave Liverpool the lead ahead of their second leg at Anfield.

When asked whether he felt it was his best performance of the season so far, the Brazil international agreed.

“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,” said the 32-year-old

“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.”

“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.”

Slot has nothing but praise for Alisson

PSG have been in great form and expected to challenge Arne Slot’s side, who struggled unusually on the night.

However, the hosts’ strong attack couldn’t get past Liverpool’s No.1.

The Dutch manager praised his goalkeeper after Liverpool’s hard-fought win in Paris.

“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.”
