Reliable as ever. The 32-year-old was tenacious in the tackle, one of few players prepared to take risks and worked tirelessly throughout. Was replaced with 15 minutes to play as Klopp went in search of more attacking impetus - yet provided more going forward than Salah, Firmino and Mane combined.

Speaks volumes, really. He completed three key passes and naturally his passing accuracy (70.7%) wasn't as accurate but it comes with the territory when taking more risks in possession.

Highlighted just how comfortable he was during a high-pressure game, where he was unafraid to harass Neymar and press PSG's talisman into mistakes and make things uncomfortable for him at times.

Stretched the hosts with some good link-up play down the right-hand side in the first-half and although his influence weaned after the break, he was Liverpool's best performer. Showed composure to make no mistake from the penalty spot and remains an underappreciated player in a Liverpool team with multiple flaws still to iron out.

A game-high six tackles completed and interception to boot, can count himself unfortunate not to have been on the winning side here.
