#1 Alisson Becker
Who would've thought a move to Liverpool was just what the doctor ordered! Alisson Becker was already garnering the attention of major European clubs with his performances between the sticks for Roma and was dubbed the 'Lionel Messi of goalkeepers' by goalkeeping coack Roberto Negrisolo, a clear indication of his abilities.

A year later, Alisson has firmly established himself as one of the best in the business. The 27-year-old played a starring role as Liverpool tallied 97 points in the Premier League and won the Champions League for the sixth time in their history. The former Roma man was also a mainstay of the Brazil side that won the Copa America last summer as he capped off a sensational season for club and country with the Golden Glove award in every competition he played.
Aside from becoming the first goalkeeper in the history of the game to win three Golden Glove awards for club and country in the same season, Alisson was named in the FIFA FIFPro World XI and was also named the best goalkeeper in The Best FIFA Football Awards.
France Football released their 30-man shortlist for the Ballon d'Or and Alisson was unsurprisingly named in the list and it has been reported that the Brazilian is well in line for a top-five finish, alongside fellow teammates Virgil van Dijk and Sadio Mane.
A commanding presence in the box, almost unbeatable in the air, Alisson is an elite shot-stopper with a save percentage to rival anyone out there. Aside from his ability to pull off a series of match-saving saves when the occasion calls for it, he also possesses a calmness on the ball that often borders on arrogance.
Unfazed by any situation around him, he is the spitting image of focus and concentration on a football pitch and has distribution skills that form a crucial part of Jurgen Klopp's philosophy at Liverpool.
At present, you would struggle to find anyone who is more complete as a goalkeeper than Alisson. The reason why he tops this list!
