Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk admits he was disappointed to hear the minute's silence for Diogo Jota forcibly cut short due to fans' disruption at Wembley.

The Reds met Crystal Palace in the Community Shield on Sunday and were beaten on penalties after a 2-2 draw in normal time.

The short period of silence before the annual curtain raiser was planned for Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, who both died in a car accident in northern Spain in the early hours of Thursday, July 3.

However, the efforts were stopped after it was interrupted by a smattering of Palace fans, which was met by subsequent boos from the Liverpool end.

Asked about the failure to mark the passing of his team-mate with the traditional mark of respect, Van Dijk, speaking after the penalty-shootout loss, said he was unhappy how the scenes played out.

Van Dijk said: "Yes, I am disappointed.

Was it 80,000 people in the stadium?

"So, yeah it is disappointing to hear that but if that person or those persons can go home and be happy with themselves, then..."

Liverpool officially retired their No.20 in honour of Jota last month following his death at the age of 28 and head coach Arne Slot added: "I am a positive person and if I look at the respect that has been paid to them both from everywhere around the world, this is what I have in my head.

"I don’t think this was planned or it was the idea of the fan that made some noise.

He was just still happy and tried to cheer for his team.

"Then the fans of Palace were trying to calm that person or those persons down.

I don’t think he had a bad intention the guy or people that made noise.

"Then they tried to calm them down then that was a bit noisy as well and our fans reacted with: ‘Hey, what’s happening here?’

"So I don’t think there is a bad intention to it because the fans of Crystal Palace and fans around the world have paid huge respect to Diogo and Andre.
