Many experts agree that Thibaut Courtois's performance in the 2022 Champions League final against Liverpool has been the best any goalkeeper has ever had in the competition's history. However, after Liverpool's surprising victory over PSG at the Parc des Princes, Alisson Becker has made his case to at least start the debate.

PSG failed to score after more than 20 games

In that Champions League final, Thibaut Courtois managed to make up to nine saves… seven of which were inside the box. A performance that completely frustrated Liverpool, which ended up losing 1-0 to Real Madrid thanks to a goal from Vinícius. The advanced stats, however, reveal that Courtois prevented up to 2.50 goals from Liverpool that day.

Last night, Alisson made exactly the same number of saves as Courtois against a PSG team that fired 27 shots at his goal, and for the first time since that draw against Auxerre in December, they failed to score after more than 20 games. Additionally, remember that PSG had scored 66 goals during this stretch of time.

The best game of Alisson's career

Undoubtedly, it was the best game of Alisson Becker's career, as he saved 2.26 goals… and also the best by a Liverpool goalkeeper in Champions League history. He also surpassed Pepe Reina to become the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets for Liverpool in the Champions League. “It’s the best match of my life,” said Alisson.

Naturally, due to the significance of that match, it will be very difficult for any goalkeeper to surpass Thibaut Courtois's performance in the Champions League final against Liverpool in 2022. But if this Liverpool team ends up winning the Champions League, many fans will surely hold onto a great memory of Alisson's performance against PSG.
