Jamie Carragher calls Liverpool’s Champions League win over PSG ‘robbery’ | OneFootball

Jamie Carragher described Liverpool’s smash-and-grab win over Paris Saint-Germain as “one of the biggest robberies you’ll ever see” after Harvey Elliott’s late goal secured a 1-0 victory.

PSG dominated the Champions League last-16 first leg, taking 27 shots and hitting the target with 10 of those, but they came up against an inspired Alisson Becker in the Liverpool goal, whose miraculous saves kept them at bay.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia had a first-half goal ruled out for offside, and PSG were made to pay for their wasted chances when Elliott came off the bench to grab an 87th-minute winner and stun the Parc des Princes.

“That’s one of the biggest robberies you will ever see in football,” Carragher said on CBS. “I can’t believe what I have just seen, PSG were absolutely outstanding, they battered Liverpool.”

Carragher also hailed Alisson and his nine saves.

“That was arguably the greatest performance of his career, certainly in a Liverpool shirt. If Liverpool go on to win the competition, which they have a great chance of, that performance will be remembered for years to come.”

Fellow pundit Thierry Henry labelled Alisson “magnificent”.

“Putting the ball in the back of the net matters, but on this one you have to give Alisson a lot of credit, because I think three should have been a goal. If it wasn't for him, Liverpool would have struggled, I don't remember a lot of games with saves like that in the Champions League.”
