The sensational display of Alisson Becker on Wednesday evening left the experts away for the Brazilian no. 1, after a crucial achievement in the 1-0 victory of Liverpool over Paris Saint-Germain.
The Reds passed heavy pressure in the night, with the French Titans of 70.5 percent enjoying it and have an amazing 10 shots on goal in the Champions League collision.
After a goal in the first half was allowed, PSG was by far the better side in the first stage, but with three minutes of normal time to play Harvey Elliott, the only goal of the game was started within just 47 seconds.
It was a heartache for PSG, who had completely pushed Liverpool, but simply could not find Liverpool's fantastic goalkeeper Alisson.
In total, the Brazilian star made nine saves, of which five shots came out of the box, in a version that undoubtedly ensured that his side brought the margin back to Anfield, where they will certainly have the upper hand.
After the game, TNT sports Rio Ferdinand and Steve McManaman greeted the Liverpool Stopper's Night under the lights in Paris, after he kept the PSG remotely.
“He is an excellent keeper, we have always known that,” started former Reds icon McManaman.
“But he has never worked as hard as tonight, he got up with everything.”
And former man United -defender Ferdinand was just as surprised by the quality that can be seen from Alisson.
'It is most saves he has ever made in a Liverpool game. He made them all look so simple and that is a sign of a top -class goalkeeper.
“He does what needs to be done at the right time and places points on the board for his team.”
He added: 'Liverpool does not have to be at their best to win games and that is scary for other teams.
“Who will be the hero? Becker gets up. You have to find different ways to win games. It can't always be Salah. '
But the two former stars on Punditry obligation were by no means the only ones who recognized what a special achievement the goalkeeper of Liverpool had done.
Alisson himself noticed that he had the feeling that he had played the best game 'of my life' after the last whistle and spoke about how it was a team effort, instead of his heroic deeds, who saw the Reds through the collision.
“It was probably the performance of my life,” he admitted after the game. 'The manager told us how difficult it would be to play against PSG, how good they are with the ball and that we should be ready to suffer. We knew what would come.
“We worked hard. We have given away so many opportunities. All the efforts that the team made make my work easier. At the end Harvey comes in and scored the goal, it is a great story for us. A great evening. '
Former goalkeeper legend Peter Schmeichel added to Alisson: “I think this is one of the best goalkeeper displays that I have ever seen in my life.”
