Alisson Matches Neuer’s Record for Most Saves in a Champions League Knockout Round

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has equaled Manuel Neuer’s record for the most saves in a Champions League knockout stage tie. Alisson made 16 saves across both legs against Paris Saint-Germain, excluding penalty stops, making him the most prolific shot-stopper in a knockout round since Neuer’s performances for Bayern Munich against Real Madrid in the 2016/17 season.

A Standout Performance Against PSG

Alisson played a crucial role in Liverpool’s defense, making a series of vital saves to keep PSG’s attacking threats at bay. His total of 16 saves over two legs highlights his importance to the team’s progression in the tournament.

Neuer’s Historic Benchmark

The last goalkeeper to achieve this feat was Manuel Neuer in Bayern Munich’s 2016/17 quarter-final clash with Real Madrid. Neuer’s performance in that tie set a high standard, and now Alisson joins him in the record books with an equally impressive display.

A Key Player for Liverpool

Alisson has consistently proven to be one of the world’s top goalkeepers, and his latest achievement underscores his ability to perform under pressure in high-stakes matches. His heroics against PSG further solidify his reputation as a crucial figure in Liverpool’s European campaign.
