This Saturday was the first time Liverpoool and Wolverhampton faced each other after the accident that cost the lives of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva last July 3. Anfield was up to the task on such an important day and provided a new tribute to his eternal number 20 with the presence of his family.
Dinis and Duarte, two of Diogo Jota’s three children – the youngest is still one year old – took to the field as mascots, leading Liverpool’s eleven ahead of Van Dijk, captain of the ‘reds’. The two were accompanied by other older children from their family.
