Liverpool: Alisson's 2022 Ballon d'Or snub questioned in fan's video

The 30 nominees for the 2022 Ballon d’Or have been officially announced.

Given the fact they came close to a record-breaking quadruple in 2021/22, Liverpool are represented pretty well in the latest list chosen by the folks over at France Football.

Jurgen Klopp’s side received six nominations in total. Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Darwin Nunez, Fabinho and Virgil van Dijk are all in the running to win the individual award.

But there’s one name missing from the list of nominees that some Liverpool fans cannot get their heads around – and that’s Alisson Becker.

The Brazil international is at least one of the 10 goalkeepers in with a chance of winning the 2022 Yashin Trophy, but he won’t be competing for the Ballon d’Or this time around.

Real Madrid‘s Thibaut Courtois and AC Milan‘s Mike Maignan were the only two shot-stoppers to be nominated for the main award.

So, should Alisson have made it three at the expense of someone like Diaz or Dusan Vlahovic for example?

Well, judging by one fan’s video containing some of the Liverpool goalkeeper’s highlights from 2021/22, he certainly should have.
