A Liverpool Like Never Before: Reds Set Unwanted Champions League Records
Yesterday's match in Paris between PSG and Liverpool produced some staggering statistics. The hosts were utterly dominant, and although they failed to secure even a draw, they still made history – albeit in a negative way. And Liverpool did the same, but with an unfortunate twist.
The shot count in this encounter was absolutely incredible for a game of this caliber – PSG fired 27 shots, while Liverpool could only muster 2. According to statistics from Opta, this represents the worst shot differential for any winning side in the entire history of the UEFA Champions League.
Yet, despite the relentless pressure, Liverpool's goalkeeper Alisson Becker put on an astonishing performance, saving 9 shots on target, emerging as the true hero of the match. This remarkable feat set a new record for the club in the history of the Champions League. What’s even more impressive is that no Brazilian goalkeeper in any competition has ever achieved such a feat for their club, as reported by Opta.
