Liverpook goalkeeper, Allisson Becker heaped praises on himself and his teammates as they weathered wave upon wave of attacks from PSG to win 1-0 at the Parc de Prncess in the first leg of their round of 16 clash last night. Allisson’s superlative performance earned him the player of the match
“It was probably the performance of my life”, Allisson told TNT Sports, “The manager was telling us how hard it would be to play against PSG, how good they are with the ball and that we would have to be ready to suffer. We knew what was coming.”
Arne Slot was right as Liverpool suffered in the hands of PSG who failed to score despite all the chances they created. PSG had slightly above 70% possession while Liverpool had less than 30%.
Allisson went on, “We worked hard. We gave away so many chances, sometimes one v one, but the biggest part of the chase is having someone make the player with the chance think a bit more.
“All the efforts the team put in makes my job easier. Then at the end, Harvey [Elliott] coming in and scoring the goal, it is a great story for us. A great night.”
The home side had 27 shots, 10 of which were on target while Liverpool had only two shots of which one was on target and ended in the back of the net to give Liverpool a big victory ahead of the second leg next Tuesday.
