Jamie Carragher gives a brutally honest assessment of Liverpool after their victory over PSG and shares a bold claim about Alisson Becker.

Liverpool heads back to Merseyside with the upper hand at the halfway stage of their Champions League last-16 clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

Arne Slot’s side defied expectations, securing a 1-0 victory at the Parc des Princes despite PSG’s dominance in Tuesday’s first leg. The French side registered 27 shots, including 10 on target, and controlled 70.5% of possession, while Liverpool managed just 29.5%.

However, PSG found themselves up against an Alisson Becker in top form, while their defense struggled to contain Darwin Núñez, whose creativity led to Harvey Elliott’s winning goal.

Jamie Carragher, analyzing the match, didn’t hold back in his assessment of Liverpool’s performance and praised Alisson’s heroics.

Carragher Calls Liverpool’s Win Over PSG ‘One of the Biggest Robberies in Football’

Carragher labeled Liverpool’s victory as “one of the biggest robberies you will ever see in football,” admitting he was stunned by the result given PSG’s dominance.

Reflecting on Alisson’s display, he called it “arguably the greatest performance of his career” and suggested that if Liverpool goes on to win the Champions League, this match will be remembered for years.

“The last time Liverpool won this competition, Alisson made a crucial save against Napoli in the group stage, a moment that proved decisive,” Carragher said on CBS Sports. “Tonight wasn’t just about one save—it was perhaps the best performance of his career in a Liverpool shirt.”

Arne Slot’s High Praise for Alisson

After the match, Liverpool manager Arne Slot acknowledged that he had never worked with a goalkeeper of Alisson’s caliber.

Speaking to TNT Sports, Slot said: “No, I don’t think I’ve ever worked with a goalkeeper playing at this level, which makes sense because he’s the best in the world.”

Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock also hailed Alisson’s performance, calling him “exceptional” and emphasizing that goalkeepers of his quality are the ones who win trophies.

Liverpool is fortunate to have a world-class shot-stopper like Alisson in their squad.
