Alisson Becker sends emotional message as Liverpool goalkeeper makes 'failure' admission after World Cup exit

Alisson Becker has posted an emotional message after the Liverpool goalkeeper exited the 2022 World Cup with Brazil.

Defeat in Qatar resulted in manager Tite confirming his exit soon after the match. Now Alisson will rest up before returning to Liverpool training later this month.

“Thanks to everyone who cheered for us in this cup! The dream lives on…”
