    Watching some of the clips and it is heartbreaking,great touch from some the ex players to be there such as Hendo,Thiago,Milner and Fabhino also nice from the club to also have a matching wreath ( besides number) for Jota's brother.
    Also seen a clip of efc representatives laying flowers at Anfield.

      Class comment from a United fan beneath the Athletic's article.


      Brian S.

      As a United fan my heart breaks for his wife, his 3 very young children and his parents, trying to make sense of all this. Life is brief, sometimes far too brief. I will say this, if there is a club that will rally around them, there is no better one than Liverpool, it's city and people. YNWA.

        I did an evening with Bruce G last night - He still an ambassador with the club - He did a fantastic eulogy about Diogo - You could have heard a pin drop.

          Looking at all the flowers and scarves lined up outside the main stand, it's a shame they'll all heading to the local tip.

            That’s a real touch of class, fair play. The easy thing to do, would have been to have a photo of him in a Portugal jersey, or even not in a football kit at all.

            Them being die hard city fans, and having a large picture of a player in a Liverpool jersey, at their first show back, really says a lot about their character tbf.
            I don't tip

              It’s a heartwarming tribute for sure. But for me any club rivalry is completely insignificant is in the grand scheme of things. I don’t think it takes any extra special level of compassion or benevolence just because they’re City fans and Diogo played for Liverpool.

                Yeah you're absolutely right there.

                  The club have opened physical and digital books of condolence

                  Link to digital one here https://www.liverpoolfc.com/club/dio...er-condolences
                  The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

                    Lots of our squad past and present are in attendance.

                      Sounds about right

                        I'm really angry about this at the moment (not Ronaldo, he's a bellend). It just feels so meaningless and a huge waste. So much heartache for his friends and family

                          His presence would have ended up dominating so don’t mind that he took that decision, I personally don’t feel inclined to go after any players on the back of this for how they react and respond.

                          Neves was his best mate from what I can see. I wonder if he should have been allowed to skip last nights game. It must have been very tough.

                            I don’t think Jurgen or Mo were there either. It may well be that they didn’t want their presence to be a distraction.

                              It’s the kids isn’t it. For most of us our earliest memories are from around 3 or 4yrs old but they’re hazy little snaps. His daughter will grow up having no memory of him. His sons just a little. They’ll reprocess and re-evaluate those memories as they grow older but those initial captures will have been from a toddler’s perspective. They’ll grow up never knowing a father who clearly doted on them and who by all accounts was a great guy. They say the most difficult part of being a parent is setting an example for your kids to follow. It’s incredibly sad that those kids don’t get a chance to follow his.

                                The only consolation for them is that they would've probably been used to being away from him quite a bit. Doesn't really soften the blow of course.

                                The club paying the remainder of his contract to the family is all you need to know about LFC. We are very privileged to support the best team in the world and that support is reciprocated
