That's one of the most moving things I've seen on a football pitch, I think: Salah standing in front of the Kop, tears in his eyes, keeping the Jota song going. A really admirable public act of grief.
"Seeing the image of him from the final day of last season, his young family and the trophy he worked towards is a reminder that whole families feel as though they collaborate in this thing of ours.
The starkest grief though is theirs. The loss is theirs. The burden is theirs. We can pay tribute and remember and we should, but all of that can wait. Today is about their devastation; our shock is nothing to theirs."

Just a reminder that while over 70,000 watched two top WSL teams at Wembley yesterday in the FA Cup final, a decision is expected to be made on Blackburn Women’s future today. It’s not rosy everywhere in the pyramid. Women’s football still needs investment.
Elena Rybakina won the 2022 Wimbledon Championship with coach Stefano Vukov, but in the lead-up to last year’s U.S. Open the two parted ways.
Over a tumultuous two days in New York in August, Vukov was told by a member of Rybakina’s team that he had been dismissed as her coach and to leave her alone.
Instead, the 37-year-old Croatian coach walked the lobby of her hotel, flooding her phone with text messages and more than 100 calls — according to sources with personal and professional relationships with Rybakina who were present at the hotel — as he sought another chance to convince Rybakina that her tennis career could not thrive without him.
His actions pushed some members of Rybakina’s inner circle to tell WTA Tour officials that they feared for the safety of the Kazakhstani player, those sources say.
The governing body of women’s tennis, which had already received multiple complaints from observers about Vukov’s behavior as a coach, opened an independent investigation into him and provisionally suspended Vukov from coaching and from obtaining WTA credentials to tennis events.
On Jan. 31, WTA chief executive Portia Archer informed Vukov and Rybakina of the investigation’s conclusions. Having violated the WTA Tour’s code of conduct, Vukov was banned from coaching for one year, and required to take classes in appropriate coaching behavior.
Vukov has denied any wrongdoing and is considering an appeal, which he must submit by Feb. 21.
