Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker said that he did the best performance of his life, while the side of Arne Slot made a challenging defensive performance to achieve a famous Smash-and-Grab victory in Paris.
Paris Saint-Germain had 27 shots for the two of Liverpool, but replacement Harvey Elliott scored 47 seconds after he came to give his side an 87th minute a lead.
PSG Baas Luis Enrique thought that Ibrahima Konate should have been sent away for the road side, but his team had many opportunities to score and Liverpool had to thank Alisson for the fact that they didn't.
Brazil no. 1 said: “It was probably the performance of my life. 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.”
Slot it agreed and said: 'I have had some very good players so far, but so far never the best goalkeeper in the world. He showed that he is the best in the world today. It was probably a bit more to go with a victory than we deserved.
'We are the lucky ones, that is clear to everyone. I think they were the much better team today. Especially in the first half they had many open opportunities, three or four large, big opportunities. '
Match winner Elliott said: 'I have no words to be honest. Alisson, he is incredible, the best in the world. Every game he shows it keeps us in so many games. Just like tonight it is my chance to pay back this man. Without him I don't know where we would be.
“It was a great team performance. PSG created many opportunities, but clearly thanks to Alisson and the defense it was a very solid game defensive and it was just me to get rid of the chance. Fortunately it went inside. '
