After the game, the Dutchman was full of praise for Alisson Becker after the goalkeeper’s heroics, calling his No.1 the best in the world.
It was a classic smash-and-grab at Parc des Princes, sealed by Elliott’s late strike, but the real story was Alisson. PSG dominated from start to finish, firing 29 shots at goal, 10 of them on target, but they simply couldn’t find a way past the Brazilian.
Time and again, he produced stunning saves to keep out Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembele, and Bradley Barcola, frustrating the French champions in front of their home crowd.
By halftime, PSG could have easily been 4-0 up, but Alisson had other ideas. His reflexes, positioning, and composure under relentless pressure ensured Liverpool stayed in the fight, giving them the platform to snatch an unlikely victory.
“I don’t think there is a goalkeeper that played at this level, which is normal because he’s the best in the world,” Slot told TNT Sports.
“I have some very good players as a manager, but never had the best goalkeeper in the world. And that I think he is, he showed that today. I didn’t think once or twice that we would defend so much and we would come away with a 1-0 win, or 2 or 3-0. The goal and a win over here was a bit more than we deserve.”
