Liverpool Football Club held a poignant tribute to late players Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva during their Premier League match against Bournemouth at Anfield. The tribute marked the first competitive game since the brothers' tragic deaths in a car crash.

Liverpool supporters created a powerful display by holding up placards with 'DJ20' and 'AS30' during a moment of silence, while players from both teams wore black armbands. The iconic 'You'll Never Walk Alone' anthem echoed through the stadium as banners waved in Jota's honor.
