Liverpool fans are in the spotlight from all over england for the minute of silence that Anfield save tonight in the Champions League match in memory of the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The last time Liverpool fans faced ‘God Save the Queen’ -now tinged with ‘God Save the King’, in honor of Carlos III- was in the FA Cup final against Chelsea last May and part of the ‘red’ fans responded with a resounding blast to the national anthem.
Not in vain, Liverpool is one of the most critical clubs with conservative governments since the 1980s in England, especially with the figure of Margaret Thatcher and they associate her with the economic decline of the city. As a way of protesting against the system, the protests of the ‘network’ fans have been revealed in the two cup finals this year, as well as on other occasions in the past, such as whistles against Prince William.
It is feared that the same thing could happen tonight in the minute of silence that will be kept in memory of the queen and that Liverpool has already announced, along with other measures, such as half-staff flags at Anfield and the use of black armbands by players.
“I trust that the fans respect that moment”, said Jrgen Klopp at a press conference, remembering the emotional minute of applause that his fans dedicated a few months ago to Cristiano Ronaldo for the death of his son.

“The death of the queen is a very important moment for this country. and very sad for her family and for all those who love herso football also has its responsibility”. “I can say first-hand that when someone loses a loved one, the support you receive makes a big difference,” said Klopp, who lost his mother last year and was unable to attend the funeral due to COVID-19 restrictions. 19.
