Crystal Palace and Liverpool face each other in today’s Community Shield game at Wembley, a game that marks a minute for Diogo Jota, who died in an accident earlier this summer.
Before the kickoff, two clubs paid tribute to Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who died tragically in a car accident in Spain in July.
A minute of silence was to commemorate the brothers, but Wimblene’s reports suggest that this moment was damaged by a few supporters of Crystal Palace who chose boo boo.
Meanwhile, Liverpool retired the player’s No. 20 shirt out of respect for Jota, and they also decided to fulfill his contract.
What did Crystal Palace fans do during Diogo Jota tribute
according to sportsJames Pearce’s James Pearce, “Diogo Jota’s minute was interrupted by a handful of Palace fans. The booing and referee at the Liverpool finish line shortened that.”

The silence of Diogo Jota’s minute silence. A mean person.
(It is worth noting that 99% of them are very respectful).

Liverpool Leader’s Palace in Community Shield Game
Although the competition between the two teams is understandable, the movements of a few Crystal Palace fans will certainly disappoint Liverpool fans and neutrals.
Meanwhile, while writing, Crystal Palace Trail Liverpool 1-2. The goals from Hugo Ekitike and Jeremia Frimpong put the Reds ahead this afternoon and it was interesting whether they could eventually continue to win the shield.
Liverpool certainly looked like a sharper unit so far, and they controlled much of the game. Arne Slot can also be happy with his new signing so far.
