Nottingham Forest 0 – 1 Liverpool – The Player Ratings

A clean sheet, some smart saves, and a semi-final awaits the giant Brazilian. Joe Gomez - 8.0 A very good game for the England defender. Was understandably lacking in the normal Trent style...

Liverpool 0 – 1 Inter Milan – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 7.5 The dominant Brazilian made a great stop in the first half from Hakan Çalhanoğlu, off an Inter free kick.
