WATCH: Klopp hails Liverpool keeper Alisson's 'incredible, unbelievable' save

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hailed the impact of Alisson Becker this season after his wonder save in victory over Champions League opponents Napoli last night.

The Brazil No1, 26, pulled off a remarkable save in the dying seconds from Arkadiusz Milik to ensure the Reds clung on to their precious one-goal lead.

Mohamed Salah earlier scored to ensure Liverpool made it into the knockout stages, but they made it tough on themselves.

Klopp said, "It was not only one save. He had a lot of things to do tonight. How cool and calm he was with the ball helps us a lot in our build-up situations. When he comes out for crosses he is outstanding. And that save was just incredible.

"But if we don't defend the whole pitch like we defended, Ali cannot make 20 saves like the last one. He did it… incredible, unbelievable. I never saw something similar. But still he needs the other boys around. And I want to say thank you, Anfield.

"It was unbelievable what the people did tonight. The atmosphere they created was just so special. I couldn't be more proud of all the people involved – thank you."
