#4 Dida
Dida won the World Cup as a reserve in 2002 before taking his place as the No.1 goalie of the Brazil national team for the 2006 World Cup. Dida was a solid presence between the sticks for Brazil, picking up 91 caps and two Confederations Cups and a Copa America for the Selecao.
Dida is another top Brazilian keeper who eked out a very successful club career in Europe. He is the only keeper on this list to have won two Champions League titles with AC Milan as well as the Scudetto. He was also named the FIFPro best goalkeeper of the year in 2005, Dida was one of the greatest shotstoppers of his era and very adept at saving penalties.
#3 Alisson Becker
Regarded by many as the most complete keeper in the world right now, Alisson Becker, much like Ederson at City, has been part of a revolution at Liverpool.
He is one of the pillars on which the EPL champions Liverpool have built their all-conquering squad and his acquisition by Jurgen Klopp from Roma has helped transform the Reds defensively.
His positioning and shot-stopping is regarded as the best in the world by many experts and he has won multiple honours with both club and country. Alisson won the Best FIFA Goalkeeper award in 2019 as well the Yashin Trophy.
Having won the Copa America 2019 with Brazil and the UEFA Champions League, Premier League and the Club World Cup with the Reds, Allison has already achieved a lot in his career so far. The man from Novo Hamburgo will be hopeful of adding many more titles before retiring.
#2 Claudio Taffarel
A true Brazil national team great, Claudio Taffarel was capped 104 times by the Selecao and played a sterling role in Brazil winning the 1994 World Cup trophy, with the team triumphing in a tense penalty shootout over Italy in the final.
Four years later, the keeper would again reach the final with the team, only to be denied by the brilliance of a certain Zinedine Zidane.
He served the national team excellently for a long period and also won two Copa Americas for the team and is also an Olympic silver medallist.
Taffarel's league career is often overlooked but he had illustrious trophy-winning spells in both Italy and Turkey.
#1 Gilmar
There can be little argument about putting Gylmar dos Santos Neves (Gilmar), on top of this list. The Brazil legend was instrumental in the Selecao winning two consecutive World Cups in 1958 and 1962 and was a brilliant keeper at the club level as well.
He was a hero for both Santos and Corinthians, winning numerous titles at both the clubs. At Santos (with Pele) he went on to win the Copa Libertadores and the Intercontinental Cup as well, thus effectively becoming a Club World Champion as well as FIFA World Cup Champion.
Possibly the most successful goalkeeper of his era, Gilmar was renowned for his reflexes, agility, composure and calmness under pressure. Gilmar was voted the best Brazilian goalkepeer of the 20th century and one of the best keepers of the world in that era by IFFHS. He was also awarded the FIFA Order of Merit in 1998.
Quite simply put, Gilmar is the greatest Brazilian Goalkeeper of all time
