Alisson settled in quickly at Anfield, and has done an incredible job of shoring up the Reds' defense alongside the talented back four.

"Well, maybe that Alisson is such a good football player.

"It was always very clear that he was a very influential player with the ball, but that he's this good I didn't see it, honestly - maybe because of a different style Roma played.

"That was a little bit of a surprise, and a very nice surprise,'' Klopp explained to ESPN Brasil when asked about the player who has surprised him.
