CHAPTER 1 Roma[edit]

CHAPTER 2 2016–17 season[edit]


Alisson officially completed his transfer to Italian Serie A side, Roma, in July 2016.[18] He made his
debut for the club on 17 August 2016, starting in a 1–1 UEFA Champions League draw with FC Porto,
but spent the majority of the season as understudy to Polish international Wojciech Szczęsny.[19] He
ultimately made 15 appearances across all competitions from the season but failed to feature in any
league fixtures. Szczęsny departed at the start of the following campaign for Juventus, which saw
Alisson assume the number one jersey. He later revealed that he would have considered leaving
Roma had he not been guaranteed more first-team football. [20]

CHAPTER 3 2017–18 season[edit]


Alisson finally made his Serie A debut on the opening weekend of the 2017–18 Serie A campaign,
starting in a 1–0 win over Atalanta.[21] He then made his first appearance in the Derby della Capitale on
18 November, starting in a 2–1 win over local rivals Lazio.[22] He was praised for his performances in
the UEFA Champions League, and played a key role in the club's campaign in which they reached
the semi-finals.[23][24] The club didn't concede a single goal at the Stadio Olimpico in the Champions
League, until the match against Liverpool in the semi-finals on 2 May 2018, which they won 4–2 on the
night, but lost 7–6 on aggregate. [25] Alisson received praise for his performances throughout the 2017–
18 season.[26] He kept a total of 22 clean sheets across the 2017–18 season, keeping 17 clean sheets
in the league and 5 clean sheets in the UEFA Champions League.[27][28]

CHAPTER 4 Liverpool[edit]
On 19 July 2018, Liverpool officially confirmed the signing of Alisson for a fee of £66.8 million (€72.5
million), making him the most expensive goalkeeper of all time, surpassing the transfers
of Ederson (most expensive in pound sterling) and Gianluigi Buffon (most expensive in Euros).[4][29][30]
[31]
 However, the fee was broken just four weeks later when Chelsea signed Kepa Arrizabalaga for a
reported £71.6 million (€80 million) from Athletic Bilbao.[32] On 10 August, Liverpool confirmed via their
official website that he would wear the vacant number 13 shirt in the 2018–19 season.[33]

CHAPTER 5 2018–19 season[edit]


Alisson made his official debut for Liverpool on 12 August, keeping a clean sheet in a 4–0 win
over West Ham United.[34] He received praise for his subsequent performances in wins over Crystal
Palace and Brighton which saw him keep three consecutive clean sheets. [35][36] In August, Alisson was
shortlisted for UEFA Champions League Goalkeeper of the Season,[37] finishing in second place.[38] On
1 September, in a 2–1 win over Leicester City, he received both praise and criticism for his
performance, making several vital saves but also contributing to the opposition's goal. [39][40] However,
with Alisson in goal, Liverpool went on a run of 20 games unbeaten in the league from the start of the
season which saw the Brazilian break Javier Mascherano's record for the longest-such streak.
[41]
 Alisson also played an important role in Liverpool's Champions League group stage campaign,
making a vital save late on in their final group game against Napoli as Liverpool won 1–0 to advance to
the knockout stages.[42]
On 4 March 2019, he kept his 17th Premier League clean sheet for the season; the most by any
Premier League goalkeeper in his debut season since former Liverpool goalkeeper, Pepe Reina in
2006.[43] At the end of the season, Alisson kept a total of 21 clean sheets in Premier League, and won
the Golden Glove.[44] In the Champions League knockout stages, meanwhile, Alisson played a starring
role as Liverpool advanced to their second consecutive final in the competition; in their second-leg
semi-final at home to Barcelona, he made a number of impressive saves as Liverpool overturned a 3–
0 first leg deficit to advance past their opponents with a 4–0 home win. [45] In the final on 1 June 2019,
Alisson kept a clean sheet for Liverpool as they defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2–0, making eight saves
in the process, to win his first trophy with the club. [8]
