Alisson Becker was easily the player of the match, with the Brazilian timber nine brilliant saves, some of which were absolutely sensational.” Their goalkeeper was exceptional. Liverpool has never played like that all season, and it is not because they decided to do so. It is because we forced them to do so. We were much better.”
Still, that wasn’t the case in every way. In the morning, Liverpool performed just as well as PSG. Still, what was indeed more important was the difference that the backups made on both brigades.
While Desire Dou stepped up snappily to try and beat Alisson from distance, Goncalo Ramos and Warren Zaire-Emer did not really make an impact.
