Alisson really was the hero in this match. Even though Elliott was the only goal scorer in this match and yes he was also a hero in this match. But also with Alisson, he was the hero who kept Liverpool's goal clean until the end. And to be honest, that was the match that made me feel the most nervous from the start. because how could Liverpool, which usually performs more attacks, become a team that defends more in receiving every attack that PSG makes. The pass accuracy of the Liverpool players was also not as good as usual. But yeah, luck is still in Liverpool's hands. they can win in unexpected ways.
Alisson played very well in Paris with many great and unbelievable saves for Liverpool. More than making saves to help Liverpool avoid conceded goals and a loss in Paris, at very last minutes Alisson made a great key pass and contributed to a winning goal for Liverpool.
No words are enough to say about his main valuable contributions for Liverpool succcess in Paris, and it laids very good foundation before a second leg so that Liverpool will have very high probability to go to quarter final phase. In a second leg, Alisson will continue one of trusted key players in Liverpool squad to constrain PSG and take a ticket to quarter finals.
Just looking at the statistics from this match, it's like seeing PSG against a very weak team. Where PSG managed to make 27 shots in this match while Liverpool only managed 2 shots in this match. That's quite surprising. But yeah in the end and the most important thing is Liverpool won as expected.
PSG actually played well but they were challenged by a world class goalkeeper in his excellent day. Without Alisson and his great saves today, perhaps Liverpool would have lost this match, and even lost it landslide.
