Liverpool keeper Alisson revels in successive Barcelona clean-sheets

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has revelled in helping knock Barcelona out the Champions League for the second consecutive year.

The Brazilian was imperious in goals for the Reds as they overturned a 3-0 deficit in the first leg by winning 4-0 at Anfield on Tuesday night.

He was in goals for Roma last year when they shocked Barcelona in the quarter-finals by winning the second leg 3-0, and speaking after the game, the 26-year-old said: "It's an incredible feeling indeed, wow what a game and what an effort/

"It had already happened to me as my Roma knocked out Barcelona last year.

"I am happy when I can help my team-mates out like this… It's amazing, it's a dream. We now have one objective, to win the Champions League final.

"We worked hard this year and we were ready to face Barcelona tonight. In the first leg, Barcelona missed a huge chance late on as they could've made it 4-0. At 4-0, it would've been very hard for us to comeback but at 3-0 we still believed.

"We made a huge comeback and our fans were behind us all game long. It was a memorable night indeed."
