Debate completely null and voided.
Alisson is the best ‘keeper in the World.
A thread.

Realistically, this isn’t even a debate. Oblak is put into the conversation purely for competition because Alisson is a Liverpool player. The evidence is so overwhelming. They’ll be more, but this graphic is a nice start to the Oblak comparisons.
Let’s entertain the argument for a second, and look at Alisson vs Oblak before showing everything else-
Alisson has a total save % of 87.2%, the best in Europe. Oblak just a 74.6% total save %
Bonus - One of them was the first ever ‘keeper to win 3 golden gloves in 1 season

This stat is unbelievable, Alisson is outperforming his xG by...
251.6%. Two. Hundred. And. Fifty.
Oblak is at a respectable 109.8%.
Below is an xG2 chart which I don’t fully understand but Alisson is at the top so I will use it shamelessly.
Bonus - hahahah@ De Gea & Kepa

Alisson has clearly won at this point, but let’s just completely bury any argument.
Set pieces and open play -
Open play save % -
Alisson = 88%
Oblak = 84%
Corners-
Alisson - 100%
Oblak -43%
Set piece -
Alisson 50%
Oblak 43%
Alisson wins, again.

With all respect to Oblak, he simply, clearly, isn’t on the level of Alisson.
Even as ‘keepers, Alisson offers far more to his game, his pass success % is far greater at 84.2% compared to Oblak’s 54%
Alisson has even registered an assist this year (hahah @ Utd again)

People will point to the game at Anfield, in which Oblak was amazing, but even then, Atletico don’t win that game/ progress if Alisson is fit and on the pitch. As demonstrated, he is better in every possible aspect. Full credit and respect to Oblak who is a great ‘keeper too.
Now his competion is out the way, let’s look specifically at Alisson and all his outrageous accolades and achievements
He has dominated EVERY goalkeeping individual award. A list of all of them. The list is so long, the screenshot couldn’t include his UEFA 2019 TOTY place.
I’m sure they’ll be the argument from those who don’t understand football “He’s carries by the defence... “ etc. Simply not true. Adrian kept 1 clean sheet in 9 games. Alisson returned from injury and conceded just once in 12 games.
Looking back at all these outrageous stats, he is honestly one of the most disrespected players in the World. Had it not been for injury this season he’d probably be in contention for the actual POTY. Cech (the best PL keeper ever, had an identical save % in 05.
If Alisson continues this level for a few years, he has every right to go down as one of the best ‘keepers in PL history. He’s currently matching or bettering them all numbers and accolades wise, so I see no reason as to why it won’t continue. 7th in the actual Ballon d’or...
Forgot to mention he made the most saves in a CL final ever, keeping a clean sheet.
