'The performance of my life' - Alisson leads to Liverpool to 'hard' win over PSG
Liverpool escaped with a 1-0 victory at Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday thanks in large part to the heroics of goalkeeper Alisson.
The Reds saw very little of the ball during Wednesday's encounter, which was the first leg of the teams' Champions League last-16 tie.
However, despite being heavily outpossessed, the Premier League leaders were able to keep the Parisians at bay, opening the door for Harvey Elliott to score an unlikely winner for the visitors in the 87th minute.

Liverpool wouldn't even have had a chance at pulling off a result if not for Alisson, their longtime Brazilian 'keeper, who weathered a near 90-minute storm from PSG as the hosts outshot their visitors 27-2 (10-1 on target). The 32-year-old was steadfast in the face of waves of PSG attack, and after the match he acknowledged his outstanding showing and revealed that Liverpool were anticipating the onslaught.
"It was probably the performance of my life," Alisson told TNT Sports. "The manager was telling us how hard it would be to play against PSG, how good they are with the ball and that we would have to be ready to suffer. We knew what was coming.
"We worked hard. We gave away so many chances, sometimes one-v-one but the biggest part of the chase is having someone make the player with the chance think a bit more.
"All the efforts the team put in makes my job easier. Then at the end Harvey coming in and scoring the goal, it is a great story for us. A great night."
