“It was the performance of my life,” Alisson Becker greeted it after he played for Liverpool in their 1-0 striking and capture victory over PSG.
How Arne Slot’s team came through their last foot in the Champions League, will receive some tests, but she went down to an extraordinary show by goalkeeper Alisson, who was given an appreciation of the rare 10/10 players in the Sky Sports match report.
Without their match player in Brazil International, Liverpool’s chances in the competition could have ended, but he kept them in the long game Harvey Elliott slide a long -angle blow Gianluigi Donnarumma with his first touch late in the second half.
Alisson faced 27 strokes and rescued nine of them, but it was sometimes the only thing that stood on the path of full disposal against fully dominant opponents.
When asked if this was his best season performance, Alisson replied, “Maybe of my life.
“The manager told us how difficult it would be and we had to be ready to suffer. They have so many qualities. We gave them so much chance, but ultimately with Harvey to enter and score the goal, it’s incredible. A great story. A great night.
“They are a really good team. Hopefully we can play a better game in the second game at home. We need to know the quality in the PSG team, having the ball, creating chances. It was a hard night, but a happy ending.”
Slot said: “I don’t think I have worked with a goalkeeper at this level – he is the best in the world. He showed that today.”
Meanwhile, Elliott, who had only been on the field for 47 seconds when he scored, said: “He is (Alisson) the best in the world. He tells him every game, keeping us in many games. Tonight it was my opportunity to pay him.

Carra: Alisson’s biggest performance ever
Jamie Carragher of Sky Sports talking about CBS Sports:
“He left with her? That’s one of the biggest robberies you’ll ever see in football, that.
“I can’t believe what I have just seen. PSG were absolutely extraordinary and raped Liverpool.
“The last time Liverpool won this competition, Alisson Becker made a savings against Naples in the last game in the group phase. Liverpool could have gone out if Naples had scored. This was always seen as a determinant moment.
“This was not a saving tonight. This was probably the biggest performance of his career, of course with a Liverpool shirt. And if Liverpool continues to win this competition – which they have a good chance, they are much better than what we saw tonight – then that performance will be remembered for years to come.”
Vinny’s Judgment from Paris
Sky Sports News’ Vinny O’Connor in Parc des Princes:
“Everything Alisson did tonight was exemplary. The difference tonight was that when Donnarumma had to make a significant one, he couldn’t get enough in it.
“Smash and catch, nam in the cup, knock all the clichés you like, but I don’t remove what time was for Harvey Elliott in a season where he is fought for the time of the game … replacing mo Salah with just a few minutes to go and he grabs the first goal of foot victory.
“But that was a victory built in Alisson’s splendor.”
