Andy Robertson dubbed Alisson s performance against Tottenham in the Champions League final an absolute joke as he marvelled at the Liverpool goalkeeper s string of superb saves.
The Brazil international was in fine form at the Wanda Metropolitano, keeping stinging shots from Son Heung-min and Christian Eriksen out as Tottenham pressed for a way back into the game after Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool an early lead.
The 26-year-old goalkeeper did not have a shot to save in the first half as Spurs struggled to find their rhythm, but Robertson was grateful that Alisson remained alert when it mattered most as Jurgen Klopp s side claimed a 2-0 win.
He s the man, isn t he? Robertson told Liverpoolfc.com. He s the man.
It was an absolute joke the way he made the saves and everything.
He was different class. It s down to him that we kept a clean sheet.
God is love!

Alisson came under scrutiny at times in 2018-19 when mistakes threatened to undermine Liverpool s decision to spend an initial €62.5million to sign him from Roma.
But he soon hit form and kept 21 Premier League clean sheets to help Klopp s men finish second in an incredibly close title race with Manchester City.
Robertson paid tribute to his performance throughout the season, saying: A lot was said about Ali when he first came, a lot of pressure on him.
My God, he s been unbelievable this season.
