Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has spoken about his unusual Lionel Messi hat-trick - while revealing what Jurgen Klopp told his players ahead of their remarkable Champions League comeback against Barcelona.
"The truth is that Messi played very well in the first leg in Barcelona and achieved two goals, but in the return, I managed to stop him in some important moments," Alisson said.
"Messi is one of the best players in football history, but I don't think only of duels with him. Both Barcelona and Argentina are two very good teams that have high quality players.
"Luckily, in the last three matches I have been able to overcome him, but the merits are of the whole team: Roma, Liverpool and Brazil."
