In
his first season with the Reds following a move from Roma, Alisson wore
the No13 shirt but was a lucky charm throughout as Liverpool won the

Alisson testimonials
"If I knew Alisson was this good, I would have paid double." Jürgen Klopp, Liverpool manager
"Alisson
is everything a modern goalkeeper needs to be. I have been watching him
for some years now and am a big admirer. He is comfortable with the
ball, he is an excellent shot-stopper and I see that he gives confidence
to his defence." Gianluigi Buffon, Juventus goalkeeper
