Luis Enrique described Liverpool's 1-0 win over his Saint-Germain side of Paris as' unfair 'after the Reds' Smash and Grijp Job at the Parc des Princes.
The Reds were almost the entire first stage of their last 16 collision under the PSG pump, only saw 29.5 percent of the ball and gave an amazing 27 shots in the game.
Yet the goal of Harvey Elliott was in the 87th minute, only 47 seconds after rising on the field, the decisive attack in the game, his Liverpool side ended with 1-0 winners in the French capital.
However, the victory is largely attributed to the work of Alisson Becker, who made nine saves in the game and earned widespread praise for his heroic deeds.
Among those who underline how impressive the Reds -stop was, Enrique himself, who admitted that the No. 1 was 'exceptional', but the result was unfair by his side.
“I think we have earned a different result – but football is like that,” he said after the last whistle. 'It is often a game of injustice.
“The goalkeeper was exceptional. Alisson decided how the game went. Liverpool has never played this season. And it's not because they chose it. It's because we made them.
'But the details are that Alisson has made five great saves.
“We were very superior.”
The result brought an end to the longest undefeated series in Europe's top five competitions, with PSG in a stunning form after a Champions League defeat by Bayern Munich in November.
Les Parisiens had in fact not lost for an impressive 22 games, because they look again to sail away again with the Ligue 1 title, but the side of Arne Slot finally made their progress to a temporary stop.
“Their best player was the goalkeeper,” Enrique added to the French Omroepkanaal+.
“We were much better than Liverpool. Much better! But they won that game. That is very unfair.
“I don't see any negative aspects. I am very proud of my team, very proud of my players. There is a second stage to play in Liverpool. We will not give up. '
