Liverpool star Alisson Becker watches old team in Brazil perform remarkable comeback

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has been enjoying his holiday by watching a match featuring his old team.

The Reds returned to pre-season training on Monday after a month-long break following the end of last season. But 11 players, including Alisson, were missing having been given extra holiday time after featuring in international matches shortly after the domestic season was concluded.

Other players still on holiday include Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Fabinho, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andy Robertson and new signing Darwin Nunez.

And on Tuesday night, Alisson posted a series of videos and photos on Instagram that showed him with his family at a game in Brazil. The Becker family were watching Internacional, Alisson’s former team, take on Chilean outfit Colo-Colo in the Copa Sudamericana.

Internacional won the round-of-16 match 4-1 to win the tie 4-3 on aggregate and progress to the quarter-finals. Alisson and the rest of his family were wearing Internacional shirts, as they came from 1-0 down on the night and 3-0 on aggregate.

The Reds No.1 expressed his delight at his old club's victory. “What a special night here at Gigante! @scinternacional,” wrote Alisson. “Very exciting to be able to bring my children to know the club of the heart!”

Internacional's account responded to Alisson's post with a message of their own. They wrote: "Always come back. Good thing to welcome you!"
