Liverpool’s sorrow over the loss of Diogo Jota has been deeply felt across the football world.

While much of Liverpool’s squad flew out to attend, Alisson had to stay back in Brazil with his family.

The Brazilian keeper, who has shared the pitch and the locker room with Jota for five years, posted an emotional message on Instagram.

Despite not being at the funeral, Alisson made sure his love and support were known — especially to Jota’s wife, Rute Cardoso, who had just married the Liverpool forward weeks ago.

“To you, my friend @rutecfcardoso14,” he wrote, “just know that you will never walk alone, we will be with you as soon as possible!”

His tribute didn’t stop there.

I’ll remember Diogo as a great friend, father and husband!”

While Alisson remained in Brazil, his teammates were present in Gondomar.

The shirts, made of red flowers, bore the numbers 20 and 30 — worn by Jota and his brother.

The absence of Alisson was felt.

In grief, as in football, he remained part of the team.
