Liverpool have been very careful to express their condolences to the royal family following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. On social media they placed their crest on a black background and posted a message to show their mourning but turned off the option to receive messages from fans. This was to avoid bad comments that could get him into trouble.

In fact, the only player to post a message regarding the Queen's death was French defender Ibrahima Konaté who shared on his Instagram account a photo of the monarch handing over a trophy to Liverpool. The rest of his teammates decided to keep their thoughts to themselves and did not post anything on their social networks.
