Alisson Becker: Liverpool's Number One

Since joining Liverpool FC from AS Roma in July 2018, Alisson Becker has firmly established himself as one of the world's best goalkeepers and a key figure in Liverpool’s recent successes. His career at Anfield is highlighted by remarkable achievements including a Premier League title in 2020, a UEFA Champions League triumph in 2019, and multiple individual accolades such as UEFA's Goalkeeper of the Year and the Best FIFA Goalkeeper awards in 2019.

Alisson’s journey at Liverpool has been marked by his exceptional consistency and reliability. More than 300 appearances into his career at the club, he continues to strive for improvements and remains integral to Liverpool’s defensive strength. His unique combination of positioning, agility, speed, and strength, especially in the demanding Premier League, set him apart as a top-level goalkeeper. Not just a shot-stopper, Alisson has contributed with his feet as well, famously scoring a goal in 2021 and assisting Mo Salah three times in the league.

His impact transcends just on-field performances; former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has praised him as "unbelievably important," highlighting Alisson’s ability to play almost like an outfield player, aiding the team's buildup from the back.



Alisson also holds a place among Liverpool’s goalkeeping legends, joining the ranks of greats like Ray Clemence and Pepe Reina. Beyond club success, he has had an illustrious international career with Brazil, regarded as one of the best goalkeepers globally and ranked ninth in Sports Illustrated's list of the greatest goalkeepers of all time in 2025.



Currently in his eighth season at Liverpool, Alisson remains a vital figure as the team pursues more titles. His recent performances include clean sheets and key saves that contribute to Liverpool’s ambitions in both domestic and European competitions for the 2025/26 season.
