Who do you think is the best goalkeeper in the world? Well, for The Athletic, itâs Thibaut Courtois!
The sports arm of the New York Times listed the 15 best goalkeepers in world football today.
And the 2026 ranking features two Brazilians in the spotlight: Alisson, of Liverpool, making the podium, and Ederson, of Fenerbahçe, rounding out the list.

Top spot goes to Thibaut Courtois of Real Madrid, followed by Gianluigi Donnarumma of PSG.
Brazilâs 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.
The Athletic praised his technical consistency and flawless performances in one-on-one situations, saying that without the injuries, he would have a strong case for being number one.
Another Brazilian in the select group is Ederson, who appears in 15th place.
The publication highlighted that the goalkeeper has managed to maintain his high level of performance between the posts even after leaving Manchester City and taking over as Fenerbahçeâs No. 1.
