Liverpool have confirmed that first-choice goalkeeper Alisson will not be part of the squad which takes on Galatasaray in Tuesday’s Champions League round of 16 tie, heaping the pressure on Giorgi Mamardashvili.
Alisson has been Liverpool’s undisputed No. 1 since joining the club for a record-breaking fee in the summer of 2018. The Brazil international may be 33 but his quality remains unquestioned. At this exact stage of the competition last season Alisson produced a masterclass against Paris Saint-Germain which rightly saw him hailed by Slot and everyone else as the best goalkeeper on the planet.
