It was Liverpool’s first game after the demise of the Queen and postponement of Premier League games. The players entered the field wearing black armbands and the flags all around Anfield was rolled down to half. Before the CL game, the club chief also confirmed that there would be a ‘moment of silence’ just before the kick-off to pay tribute to the late monarch Queen Elizabeth II.
Jurgen Klopp urged fans to respectfully honour:
Prior to Liverpool CL’s clash with Dutch giant Ajax, Klopp urged everyone to pay homage to Queen Elizabeth II. Fans of the home team and travelling Ajax fans respectfully paid tribute as Klopp and many others urged them to.
However, there were many faithful attempts to disrupt the moment in the early stages, but ultimately everyone was calm and respectful following the norm. Liverpool fans have a bad story about booing the national anthem, which is no new and has been part of the club since 1980. Due to their history, there were initially many concerns about the time of silence for Queen Elizabeth II would be disturbed. The Hillsborough Survivors Support Alliance (HSSA) also urged the fans to respectfully tribute the Queen: ‘‘Failure to remain silent could contribute to “an increase in violence on Hillsborough”.
