Liverpool's Alisson pays tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo after completing insane throw

Liverpool stopper Alisson Becker hasn't lost any of his quality despite being locked in the house due to the coronavirus crisis.

The Brazilian, known for his quality distribution as well as his shot stopping ability, is famous for his pinpoint accurate throws.

With no team mates to practice with, Alisson has taken matters into his own hands, taking to his garden to keep up his sharpness.

In the video posted on his Instagram, the 'keeper can be seen standing in his back yard holding a football.

He is stood facing his house - there is a skylight open on the roof which he is staring directly towards.

The ball flies upwards and falls directly through the skylight - as if there was ever any doubt.

He captioned the post with the words: Quarantine effect!! #AB1challenge @joaop93_

Fans loved his imitation of Ronaldo's celebration. One replied 'CR7' while another said 'SIIIIUUUUU', referencing the iconic movement.

Alisson is not the only player who has taken to Instagram during the coronavirus lockdown.

Reds team mate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been posting clips with girlfriend Perrie Edwards, while James Milner has been up to his usual tricks - sharpening his pencil collection and cutting his lawn with scissors.

The Premier League is currently suspended until April 30 and remains under review.
