Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson raps teammates: Lack of attitude

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has highlighted a lack of attitude in their recent performances.

The Brazilian was not happy with their limp surrender in the Champions League against Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Down 5-2 from the first leg at home, Liverpool lost the second leg 1-0 to bow out in the round of 16.

Speaking after the match to TNT Sports, Alisson said: "I'm wearing the Liverpool shirt, I'm going to play against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.

“The least I have to do is give my best. So that's my thought, I believe I did my best, I leave here with a clear head. And now speaking as a team, we have much more to do. And this season of ups and downs, every moment had its reason.

“We had injuries, I think we don't like to talk about it in football. We're not going to use it as an excuse, but the injuries certainly hurt us. Now we only have one player left out, so that's no longer an excuse. It's been like this for over a month now.

“We had a fantastic, incredible game against United. Soon after, an inexplicable game against Bournemouth. And against Real Madrid, it's not that we played badly, but we didn't play enough to tie the game. There was a lack of attitude, a lot was lacking on our part."
