Amid the strong cohort of Liverpool players in the running for his year's Ballon d'Or, Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker is one of the many hopefuls.
Should the 26-year-old claim the coveted award, he will be the first goalkeeper to win the prize since the legendary Russian Lev Yashin in 1963. Perhaps bizarrely, perhaps predictably, the position has been overlooked for decades but Alisson should not be written off as a contender and would be a worthy winner for myriad reasons.
The Brazilian's strong form in his debut season at Anfield after his big-money move from AS Roma helped Liverpool to an astonishing 97 points in the league, as well as their crowning Champions League glory in June.
