“I think the football world showed how to behave in moments like this.“Our fans have been incredible since the tragedy happened until today. Every single moment they did what you would hope they do in memory of him.“Today the away fans showed it is not only about our fans.

It is also about fans of other teams.“In the 18th minute they started singing for Diogo, the Wolves fans, and our fans were clapping. And in the 20th minute it was the opposite way around.“You guys know, and I know this for one and a half years now, how special English fans are.“I think today we showed to the outside world, to the whole world, that it’s not only the players who make this league special but it’s definitely also the fans.”Meanwhile, Van Dijk admitted it was an honour to walk out with Jota’s children ahead of the game.“It was an absolute honour to have the boys with me and Ali [Becker] as well together,” he told the club.

“I think it was something I was really looking forward to.“Obviously after discussions with Rute [Diogo's wife] and the family it was really something I looked forward to. It was going to be emotional, but I think it's something that the boys will remember forever.“Hopefully there's more to come in the future for them and they can keep enjoying Liverpool because Liverpool is the place that's very big to their hearts and Diogo will always stay with us forever.“I was very proud to have them with us and the fans I think appreciated that as well.”
