WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The two Liverpool stars have been criticised for not attending Jota’s funeral, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/luis-diaz-controversy-liverpool-star-dances-influencers-attending-diogo-jota-funeral-portugal/blt6460e43fe13d1b04" target="_blank">particularly after Diaz posted videos celebrating with friends</a>. Alisson cited the emotional strain and distance that also kept him from his father’s funeral in 2021. Their attendance at the mass could now soften public opinion, with many appreciating the gesture of support.</p>

<p>The seventh-day mass in Gondomar drew a large crowd, including football figures like Diogo Costa, Joao Mario, Jorge Mendes, and representatives from the Portuguese national team. Around 100 members of the public also gathered at the church for one final tribute for Jota and Silva.</p>

FAMILY & FRIENDS ATTEND MASS

<p>Liverpool’s pre-season preparations are now underway, with Diaz already back at the AXA Training Centre. Alisson’s involvement remains uncertain, though goalkeepers often report separately from the main squad. The Reds continue to mourn the loss of a beloved teammate as the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-s-pre-season-friendly-preston/blt8a5eb0331080843c" target="_blank">pre-season begins with a fixture against Preston</a>.</p>
