Liverpool pay tribute to Diogo Jota in first match at Anfield since his death
Liverpool paid tribute to their late forward Diogo Jota on Monday in the club's first home match at Anfield since the footballer's tragic death. Jota, 28, and his brother Andre Silva, 25, were killed in a car crash in the province of Zamora in Spain last month. Liverpool hosted Athletic Bilbao in a pre-season friendly today – with tributes paid to the Portugal international before and during the match. Ahead of kick-off, Liverpool legend Phil Thompson and Athletic Bilbao president Jon Uriarte laid wreaths on the edge of the six-yard box.

Players, coaches and supporters from both Liverpool and Athletic Bilbao then applauded as the match was stopped in the 20th minute. Jota wore the No.20 shirt at Liverpool – a number retired by the club in order to remember the forward – who played 182 games for the team. Billboards around the stadium read 'Rest in Peace Diogo Jota and Andre Silva – You'll Never Walk Alone' – while fans sang about the player and held up flags and banners. Jota, who joined Liverpool from Wolves in 2020, helped the club win the Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup before he passed away. 'I know that you will want to pay your tributes before, during and after the games, and I know that we will hear his song ringing out throughout the evening,' Liverpool head coach Arne Slot said in the match programme. 'It has been a tough time for everyone connected with the club, but especially for Diogo's family, his wife, his children and friends. 'We cannot imagine the pain that they have been going through, and the club will continue to give them all the support they can going forward. 'We will always carry him with us in our hearts, in our thoughts, wherever we go. 'Diogo's passing has had a big impact on us all, but what has been so important has been the love and care shown from the football world, and in particular of course the Liverpool FC community.' Liverpool ended up winning the game 4-1 with Rio Ngumoha, Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott on the scoresheet, plus an own goal from Athletic Bilbao's Alex Padilla. The Reds are currently gearing up for the new 2025-26 season and face Crystal Palace in the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday. The Premier League champions then take on AFC Bournemouth in their top-flight opener on August 15.

Ben Doak stars for Liverpool in pre-season with youngster earning rave reviews before key Scotland fixtures
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BEN DOAK burst onto the Scottish national scene last year as Steve Clarke brought the youngster into the fold. But the Liverpool star who was on loan at Middlesbrough last campaign had his season cut short by injury. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 3 Ben Doak is back firing for Liverpool this pre-season Credit: Getty 3 Which will be music to the ears of the Tartan Army Credit: Kenny Ramsay 3 He squeezed the ball into the net from this tight angle against Athletic Bilbao Credit: CBS SPORTS GOLAZO Rumours have been swirling this summer about a potential Liverpool exit for the ex-Celtic youngster, with Merseyside rivals Everton linked with the winger. But Doak has been involved heavily in Arne Slot's pre season even starting Monday night's clash with Athletic Bilbao. The winger impressed in his 56 minute showing against the Reds European opposition. He played a crucial part in helping Liverpool go into a two nil lead early on, putting a key cross in to the box which Darwin Nunez eventually finished off. The young Scotsman also thought he ended up on the score sheet as his strike ended up in the back of the net, but it went down as an own-goal. Despite not officially making it on the score-sheet, Liverpool fans raved about the youngster's performance on social media. Liverpool posted an image of the youngster on X, and fans made their feelings known in the replies. "I have a LOT of faith in Ben Doak" one fan replied. Another added: "Our future's extremely bright." "It was a cross good approach play by him, direct, making things happen," said another. COFFEE CLUB Has Ben Doak been mishandled by Scotland manager Steve Clarke? A fourth supporter called him a "special talent". A Celtic fan also replied, pleading to Doak's former club to snap the youngster up on a loan deal. He featured just twice for the Hoops before his move to Liverpool, one of those appearances coming in an Old Firm. But he has heavily impressed for Scotland, and has picked up six caps for his country. In a squad that lacks wide players, Ben Doak is exactly the type of player that Steve Clarke needs. And the Tartan Army will be relieved to see the electric winger back firing for the Reds. Scotland have key World Cup qualifiers coming up this year, starting with games against Denmark and Belarus in September. With his pre-injury form for Scotland, many fans will be calling for the youngster to be thrown straight back into Steve Clarke's starting 11.
