Alisson approaching MOMENTOUS landmark

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker once again proved his mettle as one of the best in the world in the recent Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain.

The Brazilian shot-stopper made NINE saves during Liverpool’s last-16, first-leg victory against PSG at the Parc des Princes.

It was a stunning reminder that Alisson remains pre-eminent in his position and another warning to Caoimhin Kelleher that his chances of being No1 at Anfield are going to be very slim so long as the 32-year-old is around.

Kelleher has had his chances this season, with Alisson missing a significant amount of time due to injury back in autumn, but since coming back into the team he has re-established himself as one of the best around.

The Reds are looking good for the Premier League title - their first since 2020 - and Alisson has been a big part of their success to date due to his netminding capabilities.

Alisson could win historic Golden Glove

Even though he’s missed a large volume of games, he has been on call for Arne Slot time and again to ensure Liverpool’s goals-against volume is kept low.

And the former Roma star could be in line for a MOMENTOUS award before the end of the season if his strong form carries on. That’s because Alisson, now within SIX clean sheets of 100 for Liverpool in the Premier League, is in line for his third Golden Glove award.

It’s all the more remarkable given he’s missed eight top-flight matches thus far due to injury. The award, given to the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in the league, has been won on two previous occasions by Alisson.

In 2018/19 and 2021/22, he carried off the accolades - keeping 21 clean sheets and 20 clean sheets respectively. He shared the latter honor with fellow Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson of Manchester City.

This year, Alisson has got some work to do in order to overhaul the current leader. Nottingham Forest No1 Mats Selz has kept 12 clean sheets thus far with Alisson behind David Raya, Dean Henderson and Jordan Pickford - on eight.

If he successfully reins in Selz, then he will become only the SECOND Liverpool goalkeeper to win three Golden Glove awards - after Pepe Reina.

Moreover, if Alisson completes six more clean sheets in his next 23 matches, he will become the sixth-fastest goalkeeper to reach that milestone. Alisson would ALSO become the second goalkeeper to reach that mark - after Ederson.
