It was already expected.
Shortly after thousands of English people in London and millions of people around the world followed the coronation of Charles 3rd, in London, Liverpool fans showed what they think about the matter.
The organization of the English Championship, the Premier League, had asked the teams to play the new national anthem of the country, that changed from “God Save the Queen” to “God Save the King”, in the matches of this Saturday. The decision was up to the clubs that hosted the games.
And on this European afternoon, Liverpool received Brentford at Anfield stadium, about 340 km from where Charles III had been crowned moments before.
As “God Save the King” was performed at Anfield before the match, Liverpool fans jeered at the anthem and jeered at the new sovereign.
It was no surprise. The crowd had already booed the anthem on another occasion. And he wasn’t going to miss the opportunity in a game on the very day of the coronation and which he knew would be broadcast on TV.
In terms of sports, Liverpool won by 1-0, with a goal by Mohamed Salah, star of the Egyptian national team, a country that until 1922 was part of the British Empire.
