LIVERPOOL star Alisson Becker has made another great save – saving the soul of the wife of football rival Fred.
The devout Christian conducts baptisms in the swimming pool of his home along with wife Natalia.

Team-mate Roberto Firmino has also been blessed by his team-mate, taking the top stopper’s tally to two for 2020.
That is one more than the amount of goals the Brazilian has conceded so far this year for Liverpool.
Monique Salum – the wife of Manchester United’s Brazil star Fred – shared a video of her being gently immersed in the water by Alisson and wife Natalia.
The three appear to be close to tears during the evangelical ceremony.
Goalie Alisson and his wife dunk Monique backwards under water and she then embraces the married couple before a pastor joins them.

Monique uploaded a video of the ceremony – conducted last month – to Instagram this week and wrote: “This day! The day that will always be marked on my heart and soul.
“The day of my encounter with Jesus Christ, where I felt his presence and felt that it was the most certain and important choice of my life.
“Where I gave my life and all my heart to him. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t be able to explain everything I felt that day and how you have been transforming my life and the life of my family.
“I could not fail to thank my dear friends @natalialbecker and @alissonbecker who introduced me to life in Christ Jesus and with their testimonies has been transforming the lives of everyone around them, including mine! Thank you for making me feel true love.
“You are a blessing in our lives! Thank you God, for doing your works in my life. I serve the Lord.”
And Alisson said of the event: “What God did for us we will never forget !!
“I’m still speechless to describe Jesus’ love! Very happy to have participated in a moment like this, the baptism of people I love so much! Thank you so much Jesus, I love you!!!”
The couple also baptised Reds team-mate Firmino during the same ceremony.
