Alisson Becker has revealed that Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola sent him a letter of condolence after his father passed away in February 2021.

The goalkeeper was struck by tragedy midway through the 2020/21 season when his father, Jose Becker, died after drowning in a lake near his family home in Brazil.

However, Alisson could not attend the funeral in his homeland due to the travel restrictions that were in place to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.



As a result, he had to watch his father's ceremony via FaceTime.

Now, more than three years later, Alisson has revealed that it was only because of the support of his Liverpool team-mates and, surprisingly, City manager Guardiola and Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti that he found the strength to return to the field.

"When he died, it destroyed me.

That was total anguish for her, because she loved my father so much.

"We always joked that he loved her the most.

If we ever had a little disagreement in front of my father, he would always say, “I think Natália is right.

Everyone sent us flowers with a note of condolences.

"And not just from my teammates, but even Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti sent me a condolence letter.

When I returned to training a few days after the funeral, I would think about my father at random times.

"I couldn’t help it.
