Alisson previously won the inaugural Yachine Trophy in 2019 and was runner-up three years later. This year, Alisson was runner-up.
The Brazilian has been on Merseyside since he joined the club in 2018, since then he has established himself as one of the world’s best goalkeepers. Liverpool signed the goalkeeper in a record deal, paying £67m from Italian side Roma.
Despite not winning the award, Alisson’s wife has praised him on social media. Natalia Becker shared a photo of the two dressed up for the occasion yesterday to her Instagram account.
She wrote “so proud of you” and used a red love heart emoji to show he love and appreciation for her partner. Natalia often shows support for the Liverpool star and is a regular Anfield attendee, along with their three children.
Earlier this month, the couple celebrated a special occasion together. The goalkeeper shared that it has been thirteen years that him and his partner have been in a relationship together.
To mark the anniversary, a photo of Alisson and Natalia posted by the Red showed them hand-in-hand with arms around one another. He captioned the post: “13 years together and counting. I love you.”
Natalia replied: “I love you more every day”, she also took to social media to pay her own tribute to her husband, she posted a snap of the two kissing as she said “13 years of us”, with a love heart and an infinity emoji.
At the time of joining the club in 2018, the footballer told Liverpoolfc.com: “In terms of my life and my career, it’s a huge step for me being part of this club and this family.” The family have settled down in Liverpool comfortably since arriving.
