JAKARTA - Alisson Becker finally made his debut after returning from injury. He was played from the start when Liverpool won at home to Girona 1-0 on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, early in the morning WIB.
The 32-year-old goalkeeper has been out since early October 2024 due to a hamstring injury.
However, Alisson made a series of saves to keep Liverpool's fifth clean-sheet in the Champions League this season.
Arne Slot quickly nicknamed him the best goalkeeper in the world after the game because Alisson looked like someone who had just returned from injury.
"He definitely doesn't look like someone who doesn't play. I say it's a joke that the players want to test his fitness today (leaving the chance)."
"Today he showed what I have said many times that he is our main goalkeeper," said Arne Slot.

However, Arne Slot was reluctant to compare Alisson with Caoimhin's neck. According to him, the two goalkeepers were the best at Liverpool.
His neck also played solidly throughout Alisson's absence. The goalkeeper from the Republic of Ireland contributed to 12 matches without Liverpool's defeat before meeting Girona.
"It has nothing to do with Caoimhin (Kel his neck), who played well. However, (Alisson) showed today that he is one of the best, in my opinion, the best goalkeeper in the world."
"Hopefully he can maintain his appearance and stay fit," said Arne Slot.
Alisson's return under the Reds saw Arne Slot rich in goalkeepers' choice.
Moreover, Liverpool will face a busy schedule in December so it is necessary to rotate players to always be fit.
Nearby, Liverpool will host Fulham in the Premier League on December 14, 2024 and travel to Southampton on December 19, 2024 at the Carabao Cup.
