It's been a rotten season for Liverpool - but Jurgen Klopp has admitted that it could have been so much worse were it not for Alisson.
Less than 12 months after coming close to an unprecedented quadruple, the Reds strumbled out of the starting blocks and were quickly eliminated from the Premier League title race. More misery followed in both domestic cups before Real Madrid dumped them out of Europe to end any hopes of lifting silverware this year.
Despite those setbacks, Liverpool have rallied to the point where qualifying for next year's Champions League is now a real possibility - a feat that would have been unthinkable just a few weeks back.
