Liverpool marked its opening fixture of the 2025-26 Premier League season against Bournemouth with a tribute to its former striker Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva.
A minute of silence was observed around Anfield before the match began.
The Liverpool fans also provided a moving tribute to their former No. 20, arranging themselves with red and white placards in order to spell ‘DJ20’ and ‘AS30’ in honour of the two players during the moment of silence.
Fans also delivered an emotional rendition of Liverpool’s famous song, You’ll Never Walk Alone as the two sets of players lined up together, and round of applause on 20 minutes.
