The manager of the football club "Liverpool" Arni Slott acknowledged that his team was defeated, losing to their host, the French "Paris Saint-Germain," with a score of 1:0, particularly considering that "PSG" established control over the game during the match of the 1/16 finals of the Champions League, which took place earlier.
Slott noted the performance of the goalkeeper of the team Alisson Becker, who was named the best player of the match, calling him "the best goalkeeper in the world." Alisson kept his goal intact, while Harvey Elliott, substituted, missed a winning goal in the 87th minute, a lone strike on Liverpool's goal.
"We were defeated, that's obvious. I think they were the better team, especially in the first half, when they had three or four good moments to score," said the trainer of "Liverpool."
"In the second half, they maintained the advantage and released many shots towards the goal, but all of them were primarily made from the edges of the penalty area," he added.
"It was precisely because of this that Alisson had to make quite a few brilliant saves. As a manager, I had many good footballers, but I have never had a better goalkeeper in the world," Slott noted.
"Becker proved that he is the best in the world. Certainly, we left there with a victory bigger than we had expected," he concluded.
According to British agency (WBA), Becker managed to reflect nine shots from 27 on Liverpool's goal, which had not lost since January, and scored 40 goals in their last 10 winning matches in a row.
The Brazilian goalkeeper, internationally, in an interview with the network "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet," said: "This is, for sure, the best performance of my life," breaking the record of the former goalkeeper of the team, Pepe Reina, who kept the goal for 22 matches in the Champions League. His nine saves (since 2003) are now the largest number of saves by a Liverpool goalkeeper in a Champions League match.
