Alisson Becker Marks Successful Comeback with Win and Clean Sheet Against Girona

Posted : 11 December 2024

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker marked his return from a two-month injury layoff with a vital 1-0 Champions League win over Girona, securing a clean sheet and the three points for his team.

 

 The Brazilian had been sidelined since October 5 after suffering a hamstring injury during Liverpool's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. Alisson’s performance in Spain was crucial, with the 32-year-old making several key saves to maintain his team’s perfect European record this season.

 

Reflecting on his comeback, Alisson expressed his excitement and satisfaction with the result. "Great to be back," he said, highlighting the hard work he had put in over the past nine weeks.

 

While he acknowledged that the team could have performed better in possession and defensively, he was pleased to return with a victory and a clean sheet, something he always strives for as a goalkeeper. His focus is now on staying fit and enjoying every game moving forward.

 

During Alisson's absence, backup goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher had stepped in, delivering solid performances until a late mistake in last week's 3-3 draw with Newcastle.

 

Despite this, manager Arne Slot showed no hesitation in reinstating Alisson as his first-choice keeper.

 

Slot praised Alisson’s world-class abilities, reaffirming his belief that Alisson is the best goalkeeper in the world, a view he’s held for some time.

 

Although Slot was critical of Liverpool's overall performance against Girona, Alisson pointed to the demanding schedule as a possible factor in their slightly underwhelming display.

 

Liverpool remains in a strong position, sitting four points clear at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand over Chelsea, and almost assured of a place in the Champions League knockout stages.

 

Alisson emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive outlook, focusing on the team’s successes against Manchester City and Real Madrid, and looking forward to the next challenge.
