The division at Anfield caused by the minute's silence for Queen Elizabeth

On the pitch, just seconds before the opening whistle of Ajax's UEFA Champions League matchday two clash with Liverpool, the minute's silence in honour of Queen Elizabeth II was observed at Anfield, generating some controversy as not all those present respected the protocol as indicated, with some booing showing their position on this part of England's history.

Perhaps the manner and magnitude of the expected disapproval of this sign of respect for the Queen never fully manifested itself as the Reds fans were more focused on the current situation of their team than on external issues which are of little concern to them, leaving aside the political and social interest of their country to concentrate on what happened to Liverpool in their last game of the month.

Although Liverpool were the last Premier League team to show their condolences for the death of Queen Elizabeth II, this does not mean that the Anfield institution itself has anything against the royal family and their entourage, avoiding endless controversy by deactivating the comments in the publication as they knew that some Reds fans would have a bad opinion of the team and of the bad news that put the whole country in mourning.

For this match, most of the fans behaved in a manner befitting the situation, with only a few caught on camera who seemed to care little about the event by not observing the minute's silence. While those in attendance at Anfield were divided between those who did and did not observe silence, on social networks there was nothing but mockery and disrespect for the gesture made towards the queen, with the booing and the minute's silence lasting just 30 seconds being the cause of laughter.

It is because of this minority that spoke out against the minute's silence and because of the national mourning that the Premier League itself is still afraid to resume certain matches of the competition, as the precedents have been marked in certain matches where the anthem of the country and the royal family have been booed during, with the Carabao Cup final and the FA Cup final in 2012 being proof of this.
