Petr Cech certainly knows what it takes to be a top goalkeeper in the Premier League.
The former shot-stopper spent 15 years in the top flight of English football during his playing career, racking up 633 combined appearances for Chelsea and Arsenal in all competitions.
Across those games, Cech kept 282 clean sheets and won numerous trophies including four Premier League titles.
Now that the 42-year-old has been retired for almost five years, he has taken the time to share his thoughts on some of today’s top Premier League goalkeepers.
In fact, one particular figure in Pep Guardiola’s squad at the Etihad Stadium has found himself being on the end of an interesting verdict from Cech.
Petr Cech picks who’s better out of Ederson and Alisson
The former Chelsea and Arsenal star was involved in a winner-stays-on challenge video recently shared on the Daily Mail Sport TikTok channel.
When asked to pick between Ederson and Alisson, Cech chose the Liverpool goalkeeper over the City star.
City paid £35m to sign Ederson from Benfica back in the 2017 summer transfer window.
During his time at the Manchester club, the 30-year-old has kept 155 clean sheets and won six Premier League titles in 332 appearances across all competitions.
In comparison, Alisson has kept 114 clean sheets in 263 appearances for Liverpool, who spent a then-world-record fee of £67m to sign the Brazilian.
Ederson and Alisson are two of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League
Even though the Reds ‘keeper ended the previous Premier League campaign with a higher save percentage than his fellow countryman (73.4% vs 70.7%), former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy recently claimed that Ederson is one of the best footballing goalkeepers in Premier League history.
While both Brazilians have undoubtedly been key figures for their respective clubs since their arrival in England, the fact that Cech picked Alisson over Ederson suggested that he values the Liverpool star’s shot-stopping ability over Ederson’s impressive distribution.
