Liverpool and Preston pay tribute to Diogo Jota’s late brother

In a preseason friendly at Deepdale, Liverpool and Preston North End paid deep respects to the late André Silva — brother of Liverpool player Diogo Jota who died in a car accident near Zamora, Spain.

This match marked Liverpool’s first game since the tragedy. An emotional atmosphere filled the stadium as both clubs performed their anthems — Preston’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” and Liverpool’s “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”

Preston captain Ben Whiteman paid tribute by laying a wreath in front of the traveling Liverpool supporters. Players from both teams wore black armbands as a sign of mourning.
