There were songs, a wreath laying and a minute of silence in Stadium Deepdale by Preston North End, where the champion of the Premier League was visiting.
In the twentieth minute of the game, all Liverpool supporters got up to sing the body ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ again, followed by a loud applause. Jota played with number 20 and that will never be worn by a Liverpool player.
