Liverpool 4-0 Barcelona - 6 Reasons why Liverpool completed the 'remontada'

#2 Alisson Becker in inspired form

Alisson made a number of crucial saves

Alisson was made the most expensive goalkeeper (albeit briefly) when Liverpool signed him from AS Roma for the sum of £66.9m in the summer.

The Brazilian international had been described as the ‘Messi of goalkeepers’ by Roma sporting director Monchi and he has gone some way in justifying both the hype and the huge outlay to get him.

So far this season, he has played a huge role in helping Liverpool post the best defense in the league with his 20 clean sheets coming in very handy, but he arguably saved his best performance in a Liverpool shirt for the biggest game of his career till date.

Coming up against an attack spearheaded by the unplayable Lionel Messi and supported by the likes of Philippe Coutinho and Luis Suarez is no mean task and having conceded three in the first leg, the 26-year-old would have been forgiven for having any pre-match jitters.

However, in keeping with his inspired form, the former Roma man was unbeatable between the sticks, producing a total of five quality saves to keep his side in the tie, with his parry from a Jordi Alba shot being the pick of the bunch.

Given Barcelona's convincing first-leg advantage, they had the luxury of needing just one away goal to make Liverpool's task more arduous, but they came up against an Alison Becker who was in the form of his life and having failed to find a way past him, the Bluagrana had to return home empty handed.
