Goalkeepers are the last line of defence in football. They can stop certain goals and produce magical moments which keep their teams in the game.
No matter how much focus is on offence, without the goalkeeper in top form, a team will suffer. Therefore, it is no surprise that managers and clubs are spending the big bucks on goalkeepers.

There are a handful of the world’s best custodians, who mostly play for the top teams. They are serial winners over the years, and have been imperative in their team’s successes. FootTheBall talks about the 10 best goalkeepers in the world currently.
Alisson
One of the finest signings made in the Jurgen Klopp era. After the disastrous 2018 UEFA Champions League final, it was clear that Liverpool needed a new number one. Alisson has been outstanding from all types of shots, with his ability to smother one v one situations second to none.

Gianluigi Donnarumma
Though his debut season with PSG id not go so hot, Donnarumma is one of the best goalkeepers for the future. He won the Best Goalkeeper award from FIFA in 2021, and was instrumental in winning against England in Euro 2020 final.
Donnarumma will be one of the big names missing at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Here are the others
