After a "wonderful tribute" from Liverpool supporters, Alisson sends out a message to Cristiano Ronaldo
After the death of his newborn son, Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has sent a message to Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, wishing the forward and his family "a lot of peace of mind."
After issuing a joint statement with partner Georgina Rodriguez, Ronaldo sat out United's league game against Liverpool. In the seventh minute of the game, a group of Liverpool fans sang "You'll Never Walk Alone" in support of the veteran forward, and Ronaldo's family expressed gratitude to those involved.
Tributes have poured in from all over the football world, including from a number of Ronaldo's Premier League teammates. And Alisson, speaking after his team's victory, expressed his support for the former Real Madrid player.
"This beautiful gesture from our fans demonstrates that, in these times, rivalry must be set aside," Alisson said, according to Globo. "I deeply regret what happened to Cristiano Ronaldo's family, and I know how much pain he, his wife, and all of his loved ones are in." Any expression of affection, such as this, is beneficial at this time. I wish him and his entire family a lot of peace of mind from the bottom of my heart."
Elma, Ronaldo's sister, also expressed her appreciation on social media. "Thank you very much, Liverpool. We will never forget what you accomplished today, "She penned something.
Liverpool fans showed their support for Ronaldo and his family.
Ronaldo and Rodriguez previously described the loss of their son as "The greatest pain that any parents can feel," saying "Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.
"We would like to thank the doctors and nurses for all of their expert care and support," the doctors and nurses said in a joint statement. "We are all devastated by this loss, and we respectfully request privacy during this difficult time." "Our baby boy, you are our angel." "You will always be loved by us."
Alisson praised the "beautiful gesture" of Liverpool fans.
Liverpool won easily on Tuesday, with Mohamed Salah scoring twice and Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane also scoring. It enabled them to complete a league double over Manchester United while also maintaining pressure on title rivals Manchester City.
"We had another almost perfect collective performance," Alisson said of the performance. "In the beginning, we had a very strong rhythm, we built a good advantage, and We were victorious when we left the field. Winning a classic like this, especially with this score, provides us with even more motivation for the final stretch of the season, where each game is a decision."
Liverpool will play the Merseyside Derby against Everton in the Premier League on Sunday. They are still in contention for a historic quadruple, having won the Carabao Cup and survived in the FA Cup and Champions League.
