Liverpool 2-0 Tottenham: 5 men who won the game for Klopp | Champions League 2018/19

#4 Alisson Becker

Alisson made some crucial saves in the game

The Brazilian was perhaps the biggest telling factor in the span of a year in the Liverpool side. Liverpool lost the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League final owing to some despicable goalkeeping errors. Klopp spent the big bucks in the summer of 2018 to get Alisson and a year later, the Brazilian had played his part brilliantly on the same stage.

Alisson had a quiet first half, where he had a couple of average saves to make. However, Tottenham increased the pressure in the second half and came knocking at the door a couple of times early after the break. Yet, they were met with a defiant Brazilian who had no intentions of surrendering on the night. Alisson kept his cool and kept Tottenham at bay with ease.

At the dying moments of the game, before Origi had doubled the score, Tottenham came very close to scoring. However, Alisson made a string of exceptional saves, including an outstanding one from an Eriksen free kick and helped Liverpool stay in the game. His brilliance ultimately helped Liverpool win the game.
