Jurgen Klopp described Alisson’s stoppage-time intervention against Napoli on Tuesday as a “lifesaver” as Liverpool reached the knockout rounds of the Champions League.
Liverpool will be in a draw for the round of 16 on Dec. 17 after Mohamed Salah’s 34th-minute goal proved to be the difference at Anfield in the must-win tie.
But, with a Napoli goal sending Liverpool into the Europa League, Alisson, the £65 million summer signing, made a crucial save to deny Arkadiusz Milik from close range.
“The goal Mo scored — what a goal, unbelievable. And the save Ali made — I have no words for that,” Klopp said at his post-match news conference.
“That was, of course, a lifesaver tonight. I’m really proud what the boys did tonight.”
