Alisson has recalled how he took the difficult decision to not attend his father's funeral in person after his death in February 2021.

Had the Liverpool goalkeeper returned to his homeland for the funeral, he would have had to have quarantined in a hotel for a fortnight upon returning to England.

Premier League-winning stopper Alisson, who revealed Pep Guardiola sent him a condolence letter after Jose's death, took the decision to attend the funeral virtually, watching via a video link, as he didn't want to leave wife Natalia, who was pregnant with the couple's third child on Merseyside and had been advized against traveling.

Despite the difficulty of the decision, Alisson said he knew that his father would have wanted him to stay with his wife and children given the circumstances.

"When he died, it destroyed me," Alisson recalled on The Players' Tribune.

Her doctor said that it was risky for her to travel, so she had to stay in Liverpool with our kids.

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