Liverpool and Brazil goalkeeper Alisson Becker was crowned as the Best FIFA Men’s Goalkeeper award for 2019 in the ceremony on Monday night in Milan.
Alisson arrived at Liverpool last summer transfer window from AS Roma for a then transfer world record transfer fee of £60 million and has transformed the last line of defense taking it to a whole other level.
The 26-year old enjoyed a stellar debut season with Liverpool as played every minute of his club’s triumphant 2018-19 Champions League campaign and Alisson was also an ever-present during a Premier League campaign in which Liverpool amassed a club-record total of 97 points, the most ever since the club was formed back in 1892.
Alisson also helped his national side to the Copa America with Brazil in the summer and was named UEFA Champions League Goalkeeper of the Season last month, and also won the Golden Glove awards for most clean sheets in both the Premier League as well as the Copa America.
Following an incredible first year at Liverpool and also with Brazil, Alisson Becker is currently out injured. But Alisson has acknowledged himself as one of the best Goalkeepers in the world-beating the likes of Ederson and Marc Andre Ter Stegen as his competitors after being chosen by the panel of FIFA experts.
