Alisson’s performance against PSG will be one the Brazilian never forgets as the 32-year-old made nine saves, his joint-most in a Champions League game, and stopped a Luis Enrique side who had scored 40 goals in their previous 10 matches before facing Liverpool.

Gakpo has been injured for Liverpool in recent weeks and it seems the Reds forward forgot about this when embracing his teammate after his heroic performance against PSG.

The praise for the goalkeeper did not stop there as one Match of the Day pundit could not stop himself from getting involved in the admiration for the Reds’ Brazilian star.

Alisson was given a warm reception by Liverpool fans last week after his performance against Newcastle as the Brazilian made it back-to-back clean sheets in the Premier League.

The 32-year-old’s performance against PSG would trump that tenfold, with former Magpise star Alan Shearer full of praise for the Liverpool goalkeeper after the full-time whistle.

“What a performance from Alisson that was, outstanding,” the Match of the Day pundit said on X about the Liverpool star.
