Liverpool announced the news ahead of their match with Barcelona
Alisson Becker will wear a one-off goalkeeper shirt for Tuesday night’s UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona at Anfield.
Liverpool announced on Tuesday afternoon that the Brazilian will wear the one-off shirt due to the fact that their regular goalkeeper strips clash with the kits of Barcelona and the UEFA match officials.
The shirt, which is produced by New Balance, is an alloy-coloured number, and will only be worn during this tie.
According to the statement on the club’s website, the shirt will not be available for purchase to the public and will not be worn again after Tuesday night’s game.
Jurgen Klopp’s side go into the crucial match with a three-goal deficit, after being defeated by a ruthlessly efficient Barcelona side at the Camp Nou last week following a performance that on another day would’ve warranted more.
They go into the second leg knowing that their chances will not have been helped by an injury to striker Mohamed Salah, though they may be slightly encouraged to remember Barcelona’s quarter-final defeat last year, in which the Catalans got turned over by AS Roma despite holding a three-goal lead from their first leg tie.
