Summary

Alisson Becker has become the best goalkeeper in the world since arriving at Liverpool - and it is no coincidence that he is already a Champions League winner and will soon have collected a Premier League medal, too. Under Jurgen Klopp, the 27-year-old has established himself as a genuine superstar. And in this special podcast, Guy Clarke speaks to former Liverpool goalkeeper Chris Kirkland, ex-Wolves No 1 and now-Sky Sports pundit Matt Murray, the Liverpool ECHO's chief LFC writer Ian Doyle, and Italian football expert John Solano, who watched Alisson closely during his time in Serie A with Roma. Together, they provide the inside story of the brilliant Brazilian's rise. With tales from the training ground, goalkeeping secrets uncovered, and details on how Alisson has trod new ground, it's a brilliant listen.
