Did Ederson just blow Alisson’s Champions League save out of the water?

Most of the time it’s the goals that command the headlines, but this week it seems saves are the talking point of choice.

Liverpool’s expensive new signing Alisson Becker kicked things off with a fine save to keep Liverpool in the Champions League against Napoli, at a time when an equaliser could have knocked them out.

WHAT. A. SAVE! ??

Alisson’s effort was lauded, but among football fans it greatly divided opinion.

Now that everyone’s got the result they wanted, can we agree that that Alisson save was basically straight at him?

All the fans of other clubs talking about Alisson’s save. Try watching Mignolet for 5 years and your own goal keeper effectively throw the ball into his own net in a Champions League final. pic.twitter.com/7Ibx8vbGix

Not his most difficult save but hugely important block from Alisson. The £60 million bargain.

Regardless, it definitely helped Jurgen Klopp’s team reach the last 16 of the competition – but was it even the best save of the week?

Alisson’s compatriot and Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson might have something to say about that, after he kept the scores level against Hoffenheim with a sumptuous fingertip save.

This save from Ederson ???

The best from the Champions League this week? ? pic.twitter.com/OWsyKGVUlG
