This is very bad. During its general assembly on Sunday, Real Madrid paid tribute to people who died in 2025, including Diogo Jota. The Liverpool and Portugal striker lost his life in a tragic car accident on July 3 alongside his brother André Silva, 25, a Portuguese D2 player (in Penafiel).
However, Real posted the photo of Portuguese international André Silva in the Leipzig jersey (his club from 2021 to 2025). The error quickly went viral, sparking outrage. The blunder is shameful. The center forward is well known in Spain since he played for Sevilla and Real Sociedad and is currently playing for Elche, Real’s opponent this Sunday evening (9 p.m.)!

The president of Real apologizes on the microphone
“Real Madrid CF apologizes to Elche CF and its player André da Silva for mistakenly including his image in the club’s video tribute, instead of that of André Silva, brother of Liverpool player Diogo Jota. We regret this incident”published Casa Blanca on X. President Florentino Pérez, alerted by the error, also apologized at the microphone of the AG.
André Silva, author of 4 goals in 11 La Liga matches this season, is announced as a starter with Elche, 13th in La Liga, for Real’s visit to the Valencian Community. To see if Elche’s defense will manage to slow down Kylian Mbappé (already 13 goals in the league), Vinicius or even Jude Bellingham.
