Alisson has achieved an extraordinary rescue to deny Dembele in one-to-one use, and held out a Kvaratskhelia strike with an one-hand station when the Reds ended the first half with an attempt.
In between, Ibrahima Konate was viewed by a video Assistant Referee Review as not guilty of bringing Bradley Barcola down when the France attacker in the penalty area would have been through the break.
Alisson what a saving 🧤

Alisson: Liverpool ‘has to improve’
“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 good they are with the ball and that we should be ready to suffer.
“We knew what would come. Paris are a really good team. We know that we have to improve at home. You have so much quality with the ball and create opportunities. “
Var says no ❌
Liverpool’s hearts are in the mouth for a moment, while the Var challenge from Konaté is checked for Barcola, but the referee waves play on 👀
