Alisson made his 257th Premier League appearance for Liverpool against Nottingham Forest on 29 August, moving beyond Roberto Firmino to become the club’s most-used Brazilian player in the competition.
The appearance came as Liverpool hosted Nottingham Forest in the second round of the Premier League. By taking his place in the match, Alisson moved to the top of Liverpool’s list of Brazilian players with the most league appearances.
He surpassed former Liverpool forward Firmino, who finished his Premier League career with 256 appearances for the club. Alisson’s total now stands at 257.
The Brazilian goalkeeper has therefore secured the record by one appearance, with the next player on Liverpool’s list being Lucas Leiva, who made 247 Premier League appearances.
Liverpool’s leading Brazilian players by Premier League appearances are:
| Player | Premier League appearances for Liverpool |
||:|
| Alisson | 257 |
| Firmino | 256 |
| Lucas Leiva | 247 |
| Coutinho | 152 |
| Fabinho | 151 |
Alisson’s latest appearance also extended the gap between him and the other players in the top five. Lucas Leiva is 10 appearances behind Firmino and 10 further behind Alisson, while Coutinho and Fabinho occupy fourth and fifth place respectively.
Coutinho made 152 Premier League appearances for Liverpool, while Fabinho recorded 151. The two players remain some distance behind the top three in the club’s ranking of Brazilian performers.
The record previously belonged to Firmino, who stood alone at the top with 256 appearances. Alisson’s involvement against Nottingham Forest ended that distinction and established him as Liverpool’s most-capped Brazilian in Premier League history.
The milestone was reached in the second Premier League round of the campaign, with Liverpool playing at home against Nottingham Forest. No result from the fixture was included in the information available.
The achievement adds another appearance record to Alisson’s Liverpool career, while also placing him ahead of a player who was a long-standing figure in the club’s Premier League history. Firmino’s total of 256 had been the benchmark for Liverpool’s Brazilian players until Alisson made his 257th league appearance.
