Musician Mark Phillip led fans in an emotional rendition of the Diogo Jota chant
Musician Mark Phillip led fans in an emotional rendition of the popular Diogo Jota chant outside Anfield.
He said he hoped Jota's family would see footage of fans singing his name.
"For me as a father I'm thinking about his three little boys and his wife," he said.
"[Jota] just got married it's so sad. Such a spectacular waste of life."

BBC Radio Merseyside reporter Marc Gaier has been at Anfield both yesterday and today as thousands of fans flocked to pay their respects to Diogo Jota.
Marc says: "I've been here since just after 07:30 BST and people were coming then to lay flowers and the tributes keep coming in - mementos, souvenirs this shrine is ever growing.
"I posted a picture yesterday just after 10:00 and there were just two wreaths to the side of the Hillsborough Memorial."

"The club quickly decided they needed to create a bigger space so within, we're talking now 25 hours, it's grown unbelievably so.
"We've just had a very nice floral arrangement which has been placed there from the family of Harvey Elliott.
"I am behind the Anfield Road end where the book of condolence queue is, there's about a couple of hundred people in it now but it's moving quite quickly because they've opened three books because there are so many people who wish to pay their respects.
"It's been quite quite busy, quite brisk there and I'm sure more people will come through the day."

One mark of how popular Diogo Jota became with Liverpool fans was how regularly a chant about him rang out in the stands - even when he wasn't on the pitch.
Former Liverpool councillor Peter Millea, a home and away regular, said Jota's down-to-earth, relatable personality resonated with fellow fans as well as his talent.
He told the BBC's Marc Gaier: "There was something about him as a player when he first came to us that he became an instant hit.
"He was one of those players you can easily take to, because of the manner in which he conducted himself on and off the pitch and the important goals he scored."
Mr Millea said some fans at Anfield had broken into impromptu renditions of the chant while paying their respects.
"I'm sure we'll hear it loud and clear at Wembley for the Community Shield and we'll hear it at Preston for the first pre-season away game, you know it'll be sung around the field against Athletic Bilbao and then during the course of the rest of the season and probably forever-more," he said.
