Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson urges team to stay united in pursuit of other titles

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson said in a recent interview that the team has no time to dwell on past defeats, but must continue to unite and do its best to win championships in other competitions.

In the second round of the UEFA Champions League round of 16, Liverpool, who had taken a one-goal lead, conceded a goal from Dembele in the first half, but then Nunez and Jones missed penalties in the final penalty shootout. They were eventually eliminated by the French Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield and missed the chance to continue competing for the Champions League title.

Looking back on the match against Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson said: "Compared to the first leg, our performance has improved a lot, which is a positive. Unfortunately, we didn't get the result we wanted. Conceding goals is not good for us, and the penalty shootout is full of unknowns. But we also have to admit that the opponent played well and they are a top team."

Liverpool currently ranks first in the Premier League standings with 70 points, and is 15 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal after one more game. In addition, Liverpool will go to Wembley Stadium to challenge Newcastle in the 2024/25 English League Cup final, which is another opportunity for Sloter's team to win the championship.

Alisson continued, "This defeat is hard to accept because we know we could have done more, but we don't have time to dwell on it. We still have a final to play and we have to keep moving forward in the Premier League. We created a lot of chances and so did they. We created more threats, but they defended well and blocked a lot of shots, and Donnarumma performed very well."

"In this situation, we have to recognise the quality of our opponents. We gave everything and tried our best, we just lacked a bit of luck. This is football, anything is possible. The best teams in the world are playing in the Champions League and we can only focus on the remaining games of the season and moving forward."

Talking about the English League Cup final, Alisson said, "We have to use this time to recover our physical fitness. We are very happy to have enough time to adjust because we know that this game will also be very difficult and the opponent is also strong. We need to unite and go all out to compete for the championship. Our goal here is to win all the trophies as much as possible."
