Liverpool goalkeeper, Alisson Becker has ruled himself out of winning this year\u2019s Ballon d\u2019Or.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian shot-stopper does not believe he is worthy of contending for the Europe top individual prize, despite winning the 2018-2019 UEFA Champions League with Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

According to him, he is just a goalkeeper that limits himself to doing his job.<\/p>\n

When asked if he could win the 2019 Ballon d\u2019Or after helping Brazil reach the 2019 Copa America final, Becker was quoted by Marca as saying: \u201cI just limit myself to doing my job.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of top players aspiring for that prize.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just a goalkeeper.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the Ballon d\u2019Or\u2019s history, only one goalkeeper, Lev Yashin, has won the award, and this happened in 1963.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
