Liverpool GK Alisson on heroics vs. PSG: Best game of my life

Alisson Becker has said his outstanding display in goal that helped Liverpool earn an unlikely 1-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday was possibly the best performance of his life.

Liverpool's No. 1 made nine saves to deny a rampant PSG side a deserved three points in the first leg of their round-of-16 tie before Harvey Elliott's 87th-minute winner gave Liverpool a narrow lead ahead of the return fixture at Anfield next week.

PSG have been in inspired form of late and fancied their chances of troubling Arne Slot's side who were uncharacteristically toothless on the night, but the hosts' vaunted attack that featured Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia could not find a way past the Liverpool goalkeeper.
