Witnessing Alisson Becker’s explosive night in Paris, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher had to give compliments to the 1992-born goalkeeper.
Accordingly, the former ‘The Red’ player did not hesitate to say that the Brazilian goalkeeper’s excellent performance could go down in history if Liverpool win the Champions League this season.
Jamie Carragher said: “I couldn’t believe what I saw, PSG really played well. They completely dominated Liverpool. The last time Liverpool won this tournament, Alisson saved against Napoli in the final group stage match. That was always considered a decisive moment.
It wasn’t just the saves. It could be considered the greatest performance of Alisson’s career in a Liverpool shirt. And if Liverpool continue to win this tournament, that performance will be remembered for many years to come.”
In the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16, which took place early this morning (March 6) Vietnam time, Liverpool FC won 1-0 against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) thanks to a late goal from substitute Harvey Elliott.
Although the French team controlled most of the match with 70% possession and 27 shots, goalkeeper Alisson Becker had an excellent performance, making 9 important saves, keeping a clean sheet for Liverpool.
Immediately after this match, Liverpool coach Arne Slot praised Alisson as “The best goalkeeper in the world”. Former legendary goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel also commented that this was one of the best performances of any goalkeeper he had ever witnessed.
For his part, Alisson did not hesitate to share that this could be the best performance of his career. However, the goalkeeper born in 1992 still acknowledged the contribution of the whole team in helping him keep a clean sheet until the end of the match.
