Alisson Becker has opened up about the heart-wrenching loss of his father in 2021, revealing that it was the unwavering support from his Liverpool teammates and football rivals that helped him endure the tragedy, especially as he missed the funeral.

The Brazilian shot-stopper has just celebrated becoming a two-time Premier League champion, following Liverpool's emphatic 5-1 triumph over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield.



The celebrations were a stark contrast to the Reds' previous title victory in 2020, when Alisson and his comrades had to lift the trophy in an eerily quiet stadium due to Covid restrictions.

Despite his Liverpool teammates banding together to secure him a seat on a private jet to Brazil, Alisson chose to stay beside his wife Natalia, who was pregnant and deeply cherished by Jose, instead of attending the funeral.

Alisson revealed the turmoil behind his decision: "But it was an impossible situation, because at that time, in order to fly out of the country, you had to be quarantined in a hotel for 14 days when you returned.

That was how he lived his life, and that was the best way to honour him."
