Real Madrid's fatal mistake with the Jota brothers

Real Madrid have had to apologize after a serious mistake was made when showing a memorial video for striker Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva on November 23.

Real Madrid mistook striker Andre Silva (Elche) and Jota's younger brother.

In a video paying tribute to football figures who died during the year at the annual General Assembly, Real Madrid mistakenly displayed the image of Andre da Silva, a player who plays for Elche, instead of Andre Silva, the younger brother of the late striker Diogo Jota.

Jota and Andre Silva both died in a tragic car crash in northern Spain this summer. The tragedy has left the football world in mourning, from Liverpool to Portuguese clubs and teams around the world.

We are very sorry about this incident."

President Florentino Pérez also apologized directly in the meeting right after the video was shown on the big screen. The incident happened right when Real Madrid were preparing to face Elche in La Liga in the early morning of November 24, making the situation even more sensitive.

Real Madrid had previously paid special tribute to Jota and his brother during their trip to Anfield in the Champions League ahead of the FIFA Days in November.
