No team can get near the Liverpool goal right now.
In fact, in their last three games, goalkeeper Alisson has kept more clean sheets than he has made saves.
Alisson has been a spectator in recent weeks for Liverpool
Liverpool have kept the quadruple dream alive with a win over Villarreal in the Champions League
In the Premier League matches against Manchester United and Everton, he made one save in each game as the club won 4-0 and 2-0 respectively.
And against Villarreal in the Champions League semi-final, he made none as the Reds stormed to an easy 2-0 win.
It helps that in front of him he has Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate - the latter has never actually lost when he has played for Liverpool.
Signed from RB Leipzig for £36million in 2021, the centre-back has played 23 games and won 18 of them.
The Reds kept their quadruple dream alive against Villarreal where an own goal from Pervis Estupinan followed by a Sadio Mane strike put them in control ahead of the second leg.
"We know we go there and it will be a tricky atmosphere for us and different from tonight," manager Jurgen Klopp said.
"Their players, you saw it tonight, they fight with all they have and what I like [is] that everybody could see that we fought with all we have. It's always the same."
Alisson trains all week to prepare for games
But his defence, with Van Dijk at it heart, means not many teams get near his goal
Konate has yet to lose in a Liverpool shirt and has a win ratio of 78.2 per cent
