Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk ‘disappointed’ after Diogo Jota tribute tarnished

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk expressed disappointment after a minute's silence honoring Diogo Jota, who recently lost his brother in a car accident, was disrupted by a minority of Crystal Palace fans at the Community Shield match. The tribute, which included laying wreaths on the pitch, was intended to pay respects to Jota and his late brother.

The incident drew a strong reaction from other fans who tried to silence those not respecting the memorial.
