Liverpool and Preston fans connect to remember Diogo Jota
The Guardian
|July 14, 2025
The Premier League winners played an emotional first match since the death of their beloved Portuguese forward
The first rendition of "Oh, his name is Diogo" came 20 minutes before kick-off and, 20 minutes into Liverpool's first game since the tragic deaths of Diogo Jota and André Silva, the entire crowd stood to honour their memory.
Mohamed Salah was visibly moved by the ovation for his club's "Forever 20". It was the aftermath of a poignant and important afternoon for Liverpool that left the deepest impression, however.
For seven minutes after the pre-season friendly, staged 10 days after the brothers were killed in a car accident in Spain, Liverpool fans in the Bill Shankly Stand sang Jota's name on repeat. And for those seven minutes Liverpool's players, coaches and backroom staff stood facing their fans and clapped in unison with the tribute.
The connection and the release, if only brief and only temporary, vindicated Liverpool's decision to get back to work and play.
