French publication L’Equipe headlined Liverpool’s victory over PSG as an “English Heist” after their dramatic smash-and-grab win. Despite PSG registering 27 shots, including 10 on target, they couldn’t break past Alisson, who delivered a standout performance with nine saves—his joint-most in a Champions League game and the highest recorded by a Liverpool goalkeeper in the competition.
Reflecting on the match, Alisson told TNT Sports, “It was probably the performance of my life,” acknowledging the challenge of facing PSG and the need to withstand pressure.
L’Equipe rewarded Alisson’s heroics with a rare 9/10 rating, while Mohamed Salah received just 3/10 for his quiet display. The publication described the match as a near-perfect display from PSG, only to be undone by Liverpool’s late counterattack, likening it to their previous 2-1 loss to Atlético Madrid.
Meanwhile, Foot Mercato highlighted PSG’s frustration, emphasizing their near-dominant display against one of Europe’s top teams. RMC Sport echoed this sentiment, referencing Jamie Carragher’s remarks on CBS Sports, where he called Liverpool’s win “one of the greatest robberies in the history of football.”
