Liverpool travel to face OM this Wednesday night. Ahead of the clash in the 7th round of the Champions League, Reds goalkeeper Alisson is full of praise for the Marseillais.

We're just minutes away from the showdown between OM and Liverpool this Wednesday night in the Champions League. But before kick-off, Reds keeper Alisson spoke to Canal. The Brazilian admitted he was blown away by the electric atmosphere already building at the Vélodrome. He also had some kind words for the French club.

"We were really impressed by the atmosphere here, it’s a tough place to play. We know the quality of this team, they’re a historic side with so many achievements in their history. But we’re not here to just enjoy it, we’re here to try and take all three points," he said.
