Liverpool just secured a 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain. Their goalkeeper Alisson Becker delivered an outstanding performance to save them from humiliation.
ALISSON BECKER TO THE RESCUE
PSG dominated the entire match. They registered 27 shots on target meanwhile Liverpool only managed to shoot two on target. Kvaratskhelia had a goal disallowed for offside, and a horrendous incident occurred when Barcola was brought down by Konate. Despite several appeals for a penalty or red card, it was dismissed.
The match turned around in the 87th minute. So, this happened when Alisson launched a long ball at Darwin Nunez. He then assisted Harvey Elliott to score the only goal to secure the victory.
Their only target secured the goal. So, this highlights their clinical efficiency. Liverpool’s manager Arne Slot has acknowledged the win, complementing the performance of Alisson. Meanwhile, PSG manager Luis Enrique expresses confidence over a comeback in the second leg.
So, the second leg at Anfield will be an interesting match. PSG will surely want to regain their composure and get their revenge.
As of now, Alisson has been nominated for ‘Player of the Week’ in the Champions League. This display has been displayed as one of the best goalkeeper performances in recent history.
Thus, this result leaves PSG with a challenging task in the second leg.
