Real Madrid made a mistake during theOrdinary General Assembly of Members. During its emotional tribute to those who died during the year, the club also wanted to remember Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who lost their lives on July 3 in a traffic accident. However, the person in the photo next to Diogo Jota is not his brother Andre Silva, but the Elche player whom Real Madrid is playing against.

Florentino Perez's apologies

Real Madrid publicly rectified and apologized for the error via 'X'. "Real Madrid C. F. apologizes to Elche C. F. and its player Andre da Silva for having mistakenly included in the obituary of an institutional video, his image instead of that of Andre Silva, brother of Diogo Jota, Liverpool player. We regret what happened," said the white club. Florentino Perez publicly acknowledged it during the Assembly and reiterated the apologies.

Diogo Jota (28) died along with his brother Andre (25) in an accident that occurred at kilometer 65 of the A-52, towards Benavente, in the Zamora region of Sanabria.

Tribute in Liverpool

During the Liverpool-Real Madrid Champions League match, Real Madrid already had a nice tribute to the figure of Diogo Jota. On that occasion, it was Xabi Alonso, Trent, Huijsen and Emilio Butragueno who laid flowers next to the makeshift altar that remembers the footballer in the vicinity of Anfield.
