A tribute to former Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva at Wembley during the 2025 Community Shield was disrupted by jeering from some fans. Before the ceremony, Liverpool supporters were also heard booing the national anthem, adding to the tense atmosphere. The tribute, intended to honor Jota and his contributions to the club, was notably cut short due to the negative reaction from the crowd.

Despite the disruption, Liverpool fans made efforts to pay homage to Jota with chants such as "Jota on the wing" and the iconic "You'll Never Walk Alone," showing their appreciation within a divided setting at the stadium.
However, the hostile response from sections of the Crystal Palace fans present at Wembley marred the moment, overshadowing the recognition of Jota’s impact at Liverpool.

This incident at Wembley highlighted ongoing tensions between supporter groups, with the disrespect during the national anthem and the tribute reflecting broader challenges in fan conduct at high-profile football events.

The episode underlined the significance and sensitivity attached to tributes and ceremonies in football, where crowd behavior can profoundly influence the tone and reception of such occasions.
