The former Chelsea shot-stopper has frustrated Liverpool before in the Champions League final, and he almost did the same again, showing just how good he really is.However, despite all the recognition he is getting, Virgil van Dijk has made a claim that the goalkeeper will not be very happy with at all.Photo by Carl Recine/Getty ImagesVirgil van Dijk says Thibaut Courtois is not the best goalkeeper he has come up againstCourtois is, and has been, one of the best goalkeepers in the world, with his longevity something that should be commended.His frame makes it very tricky to get the ball past him, although Alexis Mac Allister, somehow, managed to direct his header into the goal, something that would have annoyed the Belgian given how good a game he was having.After the game, van Dijk was asked whether Courtois was the best keeper he has come up against, but the Dutchman quickly named someone who he thinks is better.“I think Alisson Becker is the best,” he told TNT Sports Brazil.When the reporter asked him about a goalkeeper he has come up against instead of a teammate, he then smartly replied: “I’ve faced him against Roma.”READ MORE: Jamie Carragher perfectly explains why Liverpool fans decided to boo Trent Alexander-Arnold in Champions League tie“But currently?

He is a very good goalkeeper you cannot deny that and I remember a final in France where he was outstanding, made it tough for us today, but we found a goal and the win.”Giorgi Mamardashvili deserves some praise tooCourtois and Alisson are two of the best keepers in the world, but the latter has been injured, meaning Giorgi Mamardashvili has played instead.And for the second game in a row, the Georgian kept a clean sheet, with his performance getting better as his confidence grows.He looks more comfortable with the ball at his feet and he made a few decent saves in the game, even if he was not tested as much as he perhaps thought he was going to be.As understudies go, Mamardashvili has done a very good job, and once Alisson eventually moves on, he looks like he has done enough to take the number one spot going forward.
