Alisson, the custodian for Liverpool, turned in an outstanding performance and established a new record during the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 match against Paris Saint-Germain. The match ended with Liverpool prevailing by a score of 1-0.
With a defiant performance, Alisson, who is 32 years old, impressed both the fans and the PSG attackers. However, Harvey Elliott, who came on as a substitute in the second half, scored the game-winning goal in the final minutes, giving Liverpool the advantage going into the second leg at Anfield on Tuesday.
During the course of the match, the home team had 27 shots, ten of which were on target. In contrast, the away team only had two shots, with only one of them being on target. As a result, the home team took an unexpected lead with only three minutes remaining to play.
Following the match, pundits, players, and members of the media were quick to give Alisson the credit for Liverpool’s victory. Slot, who is 46 years old, was also quick to give Alisson the credit.
“In my time as a manager, I have managed some very talented players, but I have never managed the best custodian in the world until now,” Slot said.
In the present day, he demonstrated that he is the best in the world. It was probably a little bit more than we deserved as a team to walk away with a victory here.
According to Peter Schmeichel, a former custodian for Manchester United, “I think this is one of the best goalkeeping displays I’ve ever seen in my life.”
In the aftermath of the match, a statistic that summarises the Liverpool player’s performance in Paris was shared on social media. This statistic was obtained from WhoScored.com.
As per the information provided by the outlet, Alisson was responsible for ten saves, prevented 2.26 goals, and produced eleven recoveries. Furthermore, he now holds the undisputed record for the most clean sheets that Liverpool has ever recorded in the Champions League, with a full 22.
For example, Gianluigi Donnarumma, the custodian for Paris Saint-Germain, did not make any saves.
An explanation was given by Luis Enrique, the manager of Paris Saint-Germain, that Alisson was Liverpool’s “best player” and that he was “magnificent” after the final whistle.
“We deserved more,” Enrique made the statement.
“The player who stood out the most for them was their custodian; he was outstanding today.” This was not a game that was played based on the statistics or the specifics.
We were in a league of our own. Liverpool did not have the opportunity to play. The first five minutes of the match were spent with them being superior to us, but after that, we were the ones who came out on top.
On Saturday, Liverpool will make their return to Premier League action when they play host to Southampton, who are in danger of being relegated. The match will take place at Anfield.
