A significant number of Liverpool players were present, including Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson, Joe Gomez, Curtis Jones, Alexis Mac Allister, Harvey Elliott, Wataru Endo, Darwin Nunez, Ryan Gravenberch, Federico Chiesa and manager Arne Slot.

Former Liverpool players Caoimhin Kelleher, Jordan Henderson and James Milner also attended.

Alisson, however, was unable to make it to the ceremony as he had returned to his native Brazil during the off-season, reports The Mirror.

Having previously been unable to attend his father's funeral, who tragically drowned at the age of 57 in 2021, Alisson faced a similarly heartbreaking situation following the shocking news of Jota's death.

Sharing a photo of himself and his family alongside Jota, his wife and their kids on Instagram, Alisson wrote: "Usually, I post things that make sense, but today, nothing makes sense!"

He explained: "Once again, an ocean separates me from 'saying goodbye' to someone I love!

I'll remember Diogo as a great friend, father and husband!"

Earlier this year, Alisson opened up about the heart-wrenching decision he had to make regarding his father's funeral due to Covid restrictions and his partner being pregnant.

The thought of coming back from my father's funeral and being trapped in a hotel room by myself for two weeks was hard, but the worst part was imagining my wife on her own for that long.

"She was going to be in her third trimester, and anything could happen.

In that moment, as strange as it sounds, you forget that you're on a screen."

Van Dijk and Robertson were seen carrying red floral tributes featuring Jota's Liverpool shirt number of 20 at the funeral.
