Alisson Becker becomes the first goalkeeper to nab the Samba award. It goes to the best Brazilian player in Europe and Roberto Firmino came in second behind the shot-stopper this year. Liverpool’s star forward took 24% of the votes while Alisson dominated with around 35%.

Neymar came in third at only 7.5%. Firmino won the award the year prior and Philippe Coutinho in 2016.
