Alisson rewinds time to his 2020 knee slide against Man Utd with his celebration after the Newcastle match.

Liverpool are in excellent form right now, with many in the football world already calling the title race over—something Alisson Becker is familiar with.

The Brazilian played a key role in Liverpool’s only other Premier League-winning campaign, with his iconic celebration after Mo Salah’s goal against Manchester United in 2020 becoming legendary. Salah’s late strike sealed a 2-0 win, extending Liverpool’s lead at the top to 16 points, as Anfield erupted with chants of “We’re gonna win the league”—a moment many saw as confirmation of their inevitable triumph.

Now, 1,865 days later, Alisson found himself in a similar scene. After another dominant performance, he walked towards the Kop at full-time, greeted by a deafening roar. Alongside Virgil van Dijk, the pair were met with a crowd that seemed ready to believe the title was returning to Anfield—this time, with the chance for a full-scale celebration.

Alisson had the opportunity to relive that past glory. As one of the team’s most crucial players, his decision to reject a move to Saudi Arabia this summer further shows his commitment to the club. Mo Salah has hailed his 32-year-old teammate as “incredible,” a sentiment few would dispute given Alisson’s countless match-saving performances.

With back-to-back clean sheets highlighting Liverpool’s defensive strength, if this form continues, there could be major celebrations come May.
