Liverpool's Alisson Becker was hailed as the "best in the world" following a stunning performance during the Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). The Brazilian goalkeeper made a remarkable nine saves to help secure a 1-0 victory for Liverpool in the first leg of their last-16 tie at the Parc des Princes. His exceptional display came despite Liverpool being heavily outshot by PSG, who had 27 attempts compared to the Reds' mere two.

Reflecting on his performance, Alisson remarked, "It was probably the performance of my life." He acknowledged the difficulty of facing a team like PSG, emphasizing the need for his side to be prepared to endure significant pressure. Harvey Elliott, who scored the game’s only goal shortly after coming on as a substitute, praised Alisson, stating, “He is unbelievable, the best in the world. Without him, I don't know where we would be.”

Statistics from the match highlighted the one-sided nature of the contest, with PSG dominating possession and creating far more chances. Alisson’s heroics not only kept Liverpool in the match but also underscored his vital role in the team's success. Former players and pundits echoed this sentiment, with former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock stating that Alisson's performance was crucial for the team's title aspirations and a testament to his exceptional skills. As Liverpool prepares for the return leg, Alisson's performance will be remembered as a defining moment in their Champions League campaign.
