As per L’Equipe’s official website, Alisson’s ‘masterclass’ of a performance was only enough to and the Liverpool star a 9/10 rating, with the Brazilian superstar being awarded the highest score out of any player on the night.

With no Liverpool players yet to receive a coveted 10/10 rating from L’Equipe, this barren run might extend for a few more decades, given just how good Alisson’s performance was against PSG in the French capital.

Indeed, Liverpool target Ademola Lookman is the most recent recipient of a L’Equipe 10/10 after the Atalanta attacker’s hat-trick performance for the Seire A side in the UEFA Europa League final last season.

L’Equipe might have dropped the ball slightly on Alisson’s performance against PSG, but that’s not say that the Liverpool no.

With Brest manager Eric Roy comparing Alisson to Jesus Christ, heavens knows how the 32-year-old did not win a 10/10 rating from L’Equipe, who seem to be the only publication to not be aware of just how good the goalkeeper was on the night.
