Champions League 2019/20: 5 Goalkeepers who could win the UCL Golden Glove 2019

#2 Alisson Becker (Liverpool)

Alisson Becker is currently working on his fitness after suffering a calf injury in the opening day of the Premier League this season. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp confirmed that the Brazilian would be available only after the next international break in October. As a result, the former Roma shot-stopper will miss the clashes against Napoli and Red Bull Salzburg.

Alisson Becker could face Genk in the away game post-international break in October. The Reds have kept just one clean sheet in all competitions thus far and Alisson’s absence is clearly viable. Even though Adrian cannot be blamed apart from the blunder against Southampton, the Spaniard looks miles off his teammate. It’s mainly down to the footwork and decision, where Alisson Becker beats other goalkeepers in the world.

The shot-stopper has one of the best defences in the world. Despite lying over the possibility of missing two games, Alisson Becker, who kept six clean sheets to claim the Champions League golden glove, is a strong contender.
