Alisson explains his absence from Diogo Jota's funeral as he posts emotional message following tragic death of his Liverpool team-mate

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has explained why he was unable to attend the funeral of Diogo Jota, who died alongside his brother Andre Silva in a car crash in Spain earlier this week.

Alisson, who has been team-mates with Jota at Liverpool since 2020, posted an emotional tribute on Instagram, revealing that he was separated by an ocean from 'saying goodbye' to someone he loved.

'Usually, I post things that make sense, but today, nothing makes sense! Once again, an ocean separates me from "saying goodbye" to someone I love! But I know that I am well represented by my club mates!
