Alisson makes a crucial stop in the closing stages against Napoli

“If I knew Alisson wasthis good, I would have paid double,said Liverpool manager Klopp.The save Alli made, I have no words for that. That was the lifesaver tonight.It was not only one save. He had a lot of things to do. How cool and calm he was with the ball helps us a lot in our build up.He is outstanding and that save was incredible, but if we dont defend the whole pitch like we did today he cannot make 20 saves like he did the last one. He did it. Incredible, unbelievable.“I have never seen something similar but he needs the other boys.3

Fabinho and Alisson celebrate another famous win for Liverpool in Europe

Liverpool went into the game having to judge a finely-balanced conundrum of winning 1-0 or beating the visitors by two clear goals.In truth they could have scored four or five and Klopp was impressed with how they played.“I am still full of adrenaline. This game was just amazing, outstanding, unbelievable, the boys left their whole heart on the pitch,” he added.“Our offensive defending and pressing was some of the best I ever saw. How we played football, the intensity was just difficult to deal with, we could have scored more often but the 2-0 doesn’t help a lot.“We knew at half-time we couldn’t change the tactics and sit deeper. After 65 minutes it was really wild, both sides, counter, counter, counter. Quick transition without really finishing.“I am really proud of the boys.”3

Defender Joel Matip was taken to hospital as as precaution to have a shoulder injury looked at while Trent Alexander-Arnold (foot) and James Milner were also forced off.Klopp added: “Nobody told me anything about (Joel’s) shoulder, so hopefully that’s a good sign.“Trent got a knock on his foot, we are not sure about what exactly it is. It is painful.“Millie had cramps – I hope it was only cramp.Napoli exited the competition with the defeat but manager Carlo Ancelotti was proud of his side.“We have gone very close but we have no regrets. That’s what I said to the players,” he said. “I don’t think they should have any regrets. It would have been a wonderful achievement to qualify from a really difficult group and many people didn’t think we would take it this far.“We lacked luck at times. Hopefully we will get some of that luck in the Europa League.“We knew Liverpool were going to put us under a lot more pressure. We expected that. They were more aggressive. We knew the intensity would be a lot different to the first game too. It was something we had to cope with.“You can’t expect to come to a place like Liverpool and create 10 chances. We created two good ones but didn’t have the luck we needed to put them in the back of the net.”
