Liverpool paid a tear dress to Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva on Monday evening for their double header of friendly matches against Athletic Bilbao.
The side of Arne Slot played the Basque club twice in back-to-back games apart in their first games in Anfield since the tragic death of the two brothers, who were involved in a car accident in Northern Spain last month.
Jota's death came only two weeks after he married RUTE, his childhood love.
The brothers and sisters were honored before the presidential matches against Preston North End, AC Milan and Yokohama FM, but back in Anfield, Reds legend Phil Thompson and Bilbao President Jon Uriarte put wreaths on the field.
The billboard around the field was: “Rest in Vrede Diogo Jota and Andre Silva, you will never walk alone,” while supporters sang Jota's name when Thompson and Uriat walked onto the field. The choir started again at the start of the game.
The crowd also held flags and banners up to remember Jota and got up to applaud – next to both teams – in the 20th minute, a nod to the shirt number of the attacker.
However, Anfield had to be evacuated only a few minutes before the kick -off.
Stadium staff was forced to perform an emergency evacuation shortly before the first of the two friendly matches started due to a false alarm.
A large number of supporters had already taken a seat to view the structure, but was told to leave the ground after the alarm sounded. But it was soon confirmed by the Kop Club that the evacuation had been a precautionary measure after a false alarm.
A statement was: 'Shortly before 3:50 PM there was a false alarm in the main standard of Anfield, which led to supporters in that area of the stadium to be temporarily evacuated.
'Fans are now getting back in the main standard and there is no expected delay to Ko. Thank you for the collaboration of everyone. '
The tribute to Jota started long before the first whistle on Monday.
The front of the MatchDay program was decorated with photos of Jota that celebrate goals and the words 'Diogo Jota, forever our number 20'. It contained a number of emotional tribute, including a death notice entitled 'Forever Our No 20'.
In the program, head coach Slot also brought his own tribute to Jota.
“I know you want to pay your tribute before, during and after the competitions, and I know we'll hear his song ringing all night,” Slot wrote.
'It was a difficult time for everyone who was connected to the club, but especially for the family of Diogo, his wife, his children and friends.
'We cannot imagine the pain they have experienced, and the club will continue to give them all the support they can continue. We will always wear it with us in our hearts, in our thoughts, wherever we go.
'Diogo's death has had a major impact on all of us, but what has been so important is the love and care that is shown from the football world, and in particular of course the FC community of Liverpool.
'I also want to mention the power and courage of my players here. They are in one of the most difficult positions you can imagine. '
A 'Forever 20' emblem has also been printed on the new Kits from Liverpool, which made his first appearance against Bilbao. It stays in place all season.
Plans are underway for a permanent memorial cult pure in Anfield, while flower wreaths will be laid for the Premier League opener of the Reds Premier League on 15 August.
A minute of silence will also take place before the game on MerseSide.
After he came to Wolves in 2020, Jota scored 65 goals in 182 performances for the club, so that they helped the Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
