Atletico Madrid v AS Roma - UEFA Champions League
King Alisson

When someone labels you as the Lionel Messi of goalkeepers, it has to mean something. And it does. Alisson is truly a special talent that almost often stands like a wall in front of the goal. The fact that he has kept Ederson away from the number 1 spot for Brazil is a testament to his abilities.

Alisson has made 2.73 saves-per-game this season so far. In general, he makes an average of 3.38 saves before letting a goal in. He has kept 11 clean sheets in 26 appearances this season and has, in some games, been a one-man show for Roma.

He is to Roma what David De Gea is to Manchester United—the single-most difficult person to overcome in order to beat his team.
