“I’m very happy, this is a special time for me,” Alisson told TeleRadioStereo.

“I’m playing consistently and that’s what I wanted, and I’m also happy because we’re doing well as a team, we’re doing well as a squad and in defence.

“I think about the team first, what’s important is to win. I always think about not conceding a goal, but the team comes first, as long as we win I can concede more goals.

“My best save against Atletico Madrid? All the saves were difficult, but I think the last one on Saul’s header, it was difficult both because of the deflection in front and because it was the end of the game.”
