Alisson still “cannot explain” what happened when he scored for Liverpool against West Bromwich Albion.
The goalkeeper famously nodded in the winner from a corner in the latter stages of the 2020/21 season as the Reds hunted down a Champions League place.
He’s one of six keepers to score in the Premier League and Alisson’s header went down as one of the most memorable moments from the Jurgen Klopp era.
But, writing in the Players’ Tribune, the Brazilian has revealed he didn’t even see the ball hit the back of the net.
We were fighting for our place in the Champions League, and we had to win that match.
But such was Liverpool’s desperate need to earn all three points at The Hawthorns as it attempted to earn a Champions League spot in what had been a dismissal defense of the Premier League title.
It ultimately proved invaluable and the victory was one of five in a row at the end of the season which secured a third-place finish.
In fact, Alisson’s header wasn’t even needed in the end as a draw at West Brom would have secured a Champions League spot.
The Liverpool star also wrote about the tragic death of his father in the Players’ Tribune, when he sadly drowned in Brazil three months before the birth of Alisson’s son.
“When he died, it destroyed me,” the 32-year-old wrote.
