Reds keeper ‘can’t wait’ for big game

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker admits next week’s Champions League final is the biggest match of his career.

The Brazil international reached the semi-finals last season, when his Roma team were knocked out, coincidentally, by Jurgen Klopp’s side.

The £65 million signing was a pivotal figure in a gripping Premier League title race but he and his team-mates have a second shot at silverware in Madrid against Tottenham on June 1.

“I can’t wait. I’m looking forward to playing this big game. It’s maybe the biggest game in my life,” he told liverpoolfc.com.

Alisson’s first season has been an unqualified success with 21 Premier League clean sheets winning him the Golden Glove award.

The Brazilian was keen to share the praise with his team-mates, however.

He said: “The award is not just mine, it’s an award for my team-mates also, who work hard to keep clean sheets.”

Alisson Becker is very excited for the Champions League final.
