In recent hours, the world has shown its dismay and sadness at the news of the death of Diogo Jota, a 28-year-old player, who along with his brother André Silva, was a victim of a fatal and serious car accident.
The loss of the Liverpool star and the Portuguese National Team has triggered an endless number of tributes. From Anfield to the Club World Cup, the names of the brothers and footballers have resonated, but surprisingly, this was also replicated in one of the most anticipated concerts of the year.
Oasis announced their return driving their audience crazy after a long absence, and although many surprises were revealed during their performance in Cardiff, the most outstanding one was a tribute to Diogo Jota.
It was during the ‘Live Forever’ song, that the image of the soccer player was shown on the concert screens, generating a lot of excitement among his fans and soccer enthusiasts, as this gesture helps to calm the sensitive emotions left by the departure of number 20 from Liverpool.
It is also important to mention that on social media, this news sparked a lot of discussion and generated a wave of positive reactions that fans from all over the world joined.
The rivalry disappeared for a few moments
One aspect worth highlighting and that many applauded was that despite the band’s origins in Manchester, they took the time to pay tribute to a player from a direct rival team of their city’s team.
The important thing is that this was replicated in many places, in the Club World Cup with teams from other countries showing their respect and joining in the mourning, as well as at Anfield, where even fans of other clubs attended the tribute wearing their shirts and showed respect with flowers and empathy.
