Unmissable: Liverpool Fans Will Adore Alisson Even More After His Wholesome Full-Time Gesture with Nunez
Must-See: Liverpool Fans Will Love Alisson Even More After Heartwarming Full-Time Moment with Nunez
Alisson Becker isn’t just the best goalkeeper in the world—he’s also an outstanding teammate.
Since arriving from Roma in 2018, Liverpool’s No. 1 has been a model of consistency. He delivered his finest performance yet for the Reds in the midweek victory over Paris Saint-Germain, making an incredible nine saves.
Alisson’s Selfless Gesture Encourages Anfield to Applaud Nunez
Despite a rare lapse in concentration that led to Southampton’s opener, Alisson Becker and Liverpool ultimately prevailed with a 3-1 win at Anfield.
After the final whistle, as fans chanted his name in appreciation, the Brazilian goalkeeper shifted the spotlight to his teammate instead. Wrapping an arm around Darwin Nunez, Alisson gestured for the crowd to applaud the Uruguayan, who responded by raising a fist to the Main Stand in gratitude.
Nunez had played a crucial role in Liverpool’s comeback, scoring the equalizer early in the second half and winning one of the two penalties converted by Mo Salah to seal the victory.
Alisson’s Touch of Class
Since arriving at Liverpool three years ago, Darwin Nunez has faced relentless criticism from pundits, despite his undeniable impact on the pitch. While his game can sometimes be frustrating, his contributions this week have been invaluable.
Beyond his goal and penalty win against Southampton, Nunez showed brilliant awareness against PSG, holding off Marquinhos to set up Harvey Elliott’s winner when he could have gone for goal himself.
Alisson, well aware of the scrutiny his teammate has endured, displayed pure class by redirecting the Anfield crowd’s chants away from himself and toward Nunez—an act of selflessness that speaks volumes about his character.
Liverpool’s Unity Shines Through
It’s this unwavering ‘one for all, all for one’ mentality that has been key to Liverpool stretching their Premier League lead to 16 points overnight. Of course, having a world-class goalkeeper like Alisson doesn’t hurt either!

You’ve just got to love Alisson don’t you. After his heroics in midweek, the Kop constantly chanted his name but he’s always first to show his appreciation to his teammates especially Nunez who gets a lot of stick. Made sure Nunez felt the love after the whistle. #LFC pic.twitter.com/gJNT444IE3
