Liverpool fans react to Thibaut Courtois and Alisson Becker mistakes in Champions League

Liverpool fans have been reacting to the mistakes from Alisson Becker Thibaut Courtois in the Champions League clash against Real Madrid.

The Reds were playing against the La Liga giants in the last-16 tie at Anfield on Tuesday night. It was a repeat of the final from last season’s competition, which Madrid won 1-0 in Paris.

Jurgen Klopp’s side had the perfect start, with Darwin Nunez opening the scoring in the early minutes. It followed on from his goal against Newcastle United last weekend.

Mohamed Salah then put Liverpool 2-0 up, after he capitalised on a mistake from Courtois. The Belgium international was receiving a back pass from his team-mate, and was in two minds about his kick which allowed Salah to get the ball and fire it into the net.

Madrid then got back into the game with two goals from Vinicius Jr. The second was the result of an error from Alisson, where his pass was accidentally fired against the Madrid forward to loop over the stranded Liverpool keeper and into the net.

Liverpool fans remarked on Courtois’s performance from last season’s final, where he was awarded the man of the match in Paris. Now Reds supporters took to Twitter to reference the previous meeting between the two teams, as well as the mistake from Alisson.

Michael: “Courtois had a worldie in Paris then does that.

LFC Iceland: “Courtois making up for having the game of his life against us in the [Champions League] last time. I'm all for it! GET IN!”

Chris: “Eight months too late from Courtois.”

Muzz: “This is for the worldie he had in the final.”

Charlie: “Why couldn’t Courtois do that in the final.”

Liam: “Why couldn’t Courtois do that in Paris 9 months ago.”

Kai: "Alisson whenever you feel bad for him being the only consistent player in the team then he does that."

Top Kop: "This happens way too often Alisson."

Meghana: "Oh my goodness, terrible mistake from Alisson. So unfortunate."
