Liverpool can be grateful to Alisson for pulling off two outstanding saves inside the first 20 minutes of tonight’s Champions League clash against Real Madrid.
Just before the quarter-hour mark, the Brazilian instinctively stuck out his arm to thwart compatriot Vinicius Jr, whose close-range volley had been destined for the net.
A few minutes later, the Reds’ number one proved his worth yet again with another brilliant stop, this time tipping an Eduardo Camavinga shot from distance onto the crossbar.
It was a save made all the more impressive by Alisson’s reactions in getting to it after the Frenchman’s effort took a deflection off James Milner as it arrowed towards goal.
The 30-year-old can certainly be pleased with his contribution in the opening half-hour at the Bernabeu.
