Reports have surfaced claiming that a car crash occurred outside Anfield Stadium just two hours ago, allegedly involving two Liverpool players standing near the scene. However, no credible media outlets — including BBC, The Guardian, or Liverpool Echo — have reported such an incident as of July 10, 2025.
Anfield, located in Liverpool’s busy Anfield district, does experience frequent foot traffic, especially during football season. Still, the absence of confirmation from reliable sources suggests that the incident either did not occur or remains unverified.
This claim comes in the wake of several unrelated car-related events involving the club:
May 26, 2025: During Liverpool’s Premier League title parade, a man drove into a crowd on Water Street, injuring over 100 people. No players were involved.
July 3, 2025: Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva tragically died in a car crash in Spain due to a tire blowout.
Despite these genuine tragedies, there is no evidence supporting the recent claim about a crash near Anfield involving current players. No player names have been mentioned, and no eyewitness accounts have been corroborated.
Liverpool’s squad, including Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Darwin Núñez, are currently in pre-season preparations under new manager Arne Slot. The club is also focused on honoring Jota’s legacy.
For accurate information, fans are advised to rely on official club statements and trusted news outlets.
