It is the sixth time the 32-year-old has scooped the award, moving him one ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo. The duo have dominated the award since 2008, with their string of victories only interrupted by Luka Modric last year.
It was the second award of the night for the Argentinean forward, who was also included in the men's team of the 2018-19 season - as voted for by their fellow professionals.
Alisson picked up the individual goalkeeping accolade as well as being selected in the best XI after helping Liverpool to the Champions League title and Brazil win the Copa America. Matthijs de Ligt (Netherlands, Juventus), Sergio Ramos (Spain, Real Madrid), Virgil van Dijk (Netherlands, Liverpool) and Marcelo (Brazil, Real Madrid) made up the defence.
The midfield featured Luka Modric (Croatia, Real Madrid), Frenkie de Jong (Netherlands, Ajax) and Eden Hazard (Belgium, Real Madrid).
While up front it was Kylian Mbappe (France, Paris Saint-Germain), Lionel Messi (Argentina, Barcelona) and Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal, Juventus).
Thousands of players from across the world participated in the vote organized by world player's union FIFPro.
