And what a confidence boost for Nunez to take into the closing weeks of what for the striker has been a rollercoaster campaign.

And it was also evidence of the strength in depth to which Slot is turning at opportune times, Curtis Jones similarly influential from the bench while Wataru Endo delivered a trademark stint.

That Liverpool were in a position to snatch victory owed so much to Alisson Becker in what, without hyperbole, should rightly be regarded as one of the great goalkeeping performances in the club’s history.

As the visitors were pulled this way and that during the first half by a vibrant PSG attack in which both Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele excelled, Alisson at times provided a one-man barrier, making a string of superb saves.

And even when the Brazilian was beaten by a Kvaratskhelia curler in the first half, the goal was eventually chalked off after a lengthy check that confirmed the Georgia international was narrowly offside.

PSG are by some distance the best team the Reds have faced this season and will not change their approach in the second leg at Anfield next Tuesday.

Liverpool will know they cannot escape with another performance like this one here in France.

There was a curious landmark for Slot before the game when his starting XI was the sixth time he had named the exact same line-up during his tenure.

Jurgen Klopp did likewise only five times in 491 games in charge.

Familiarity certainly didn’t breed contentment for the Reds, though, with Alisson ensuring any lingering debate over who should be Liverpool’s number one was banished by a performance that showcased every aspect of his game.

Having been forced into a decent stop to deny Kvaratskhelia from range, Alisson’s first big moment came when Dembele got in behind the Liverpool defence
