Liverpool and Crystal Palace paid tribute to the late Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva before the Community Shield match held at Wembley on August 10, 2025. Both players had died in a car accident on July 3, 2025. A minute of silence was observed in their honor, attended by Liverpool, Debbie Hewitt, president of the English Football Association, and Ian Rush. However, the minute of silence was interrupted and had to be cut short by the referee due to disruptions from a small group of Crystal Palace supporters. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk publicly criticized the behavior of the fans who disturbed the tribute. Crystal Palace announced plans to identify and 'name and shame' those responsible for the disruption. The match marked Liverpool's first game since Jota's death, and the tribute was intended to honor his memory before the game against Crystal Palace, who had caused an upset in the FA Cup earlier that year.
