Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson admits Brazil and Liverpool rival Alisson is the best goalkeeper in the world.

The former Roma man was selected over Ederson for the World Cup and Copa America.

Speaking to the press ahead of Brazil's friendly against Colombia this weekend, Ederson admitted: "I think the three of us were the best, but I see Alisson one step ahead.

"He was great in the Premier League, won the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and had a great Copa America as well.

"So I think whoever wins will be deserving and I'm happy for two Brazilian goalkeepers to reach this level.

"We all know the great period that Alisson is living. And I'm having a good time too. Of course, these are opportunities.

"As a player you must be prepared for everything. I train as if I am always playing, which makes it easier for me to be used.

"I hope to make the best of the opportunities I have here and I'll give my best."
