With the way Liverpool have defended for much of this season, Alisson Becker has probably been enjoying his time in Qatar with Brazil. Across his first two appearances at the 2022 World Cup, against Serbia and Switzerland, he didn’t face a single shot on target.
He could’ve worn the same kit for both matches, such was his relative lack of involvement. But that wasn’t the case in the Round of 16 on Monday evening. While the tournament favourites swept South Korea aside 4-1, Alisson had to deal with six goal attempts.
They were of sufficient difficulty that his performance drew plaudits from pundits and fans after the match. Becker’s efforts drew fair comparison with his best ever games for Liverpool.
