Top spot goes to Thibaut Courtois of Real Madrid, followed by Gianluigi Donnarumma of PSG.

Brazil’s main representative, Alisson secured third place.

According to the site, the Liverpool keeper is not at the top of the ranking only because of the physical issues he has faced throughout this season.

Another Brazilian in the select group is Ederson, who appears in 15th place.
