Alisson: Liverpool ‘must be improved’
“It was probably the performance of my life,” Alisson told Tnt Sports afterwards. “The manager (Arne Slot) told us how difficult it would be to play against Paris, how well it is with the ball and that we should be ready to suffer.
“We knew what is coming. Paris is a very good team. We know we have to improve at home. They have so much quality with the ball, creating chances.”
Var says no ❌
