Ahead of the 2025 Community Shield match between Liverpool and Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium, a minute of silence was held in tribute to Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, who both died in a car accident on July 3. The tribute was attended by Liverpool players, including Virgil van Dijk, as well as Debbie Hewitt, president of the English Football Association, and Ian Rush. However, the minute of silence was interrupted and cut short by a small group of Crystal Palace fans who shouted during the tribute, prompting the referee to end it early. Liverpool fans and players expressed disappointment over the disruption, with van Dijk criticizing the behavior of the Palace supporters. Crystal Palace manager Arne Slot acknowledged the incident but stated he did not believe there was bad intention behind the disruption. The club announced plans to identify and sanction the fans responsible. Liverpool ultimately lost the Community Shield to Crystal Palace, who had qualified by winning the FA Cup. The match marked Liverpool's first competitive game since Jota's death, and the club had hoped to dedicate the season's first trophy to him.
