As a result of Puerta's death, Sevilla's UEFA Champions League qualifier against AEK Athens F.C. was postponed until the fourth of September– Sevilla eventually won 4–1.
The club also announced that a one-minute silence would be held before every league match on the weekend of 1–2 September 2007.

Additionally, Sevilla's UEFA Super Cup game with A.C. Milan on 31 August went ahead, as a tribute to the player, with all 22 participants having the name 'PUERTA' printed on the back of their jersey.
The players and officials on both sides also wore black armbands.

Sevilla subsequently retired Puerta's number 16 shirt, with the provision that should his son, Aitor Antonio (born 22 October 2007), one day play for the club, he will have the option to bring the number out of retirement.
However, Spanish football teams were not allowed to do so, as the Royal Spanish Football Federation stated that clubs should use number 1 to 25 for their regular squad, with no additional room for manoeuvre; as a result, David Prieto wore the shirt in 2007–08 in honour of his friend but it was later decided that only youth products could wear that jersey.

Controversially, the number was given to Argentine Federico Fazio in 2016.
One year later, it was awarded to Jesús Navas, a close friend of Puerta, upon his return to the club in 2017.

Ramos wore t-shirts in memory of Puerta after Spain won UEFA Euro 2008 and the 2010 FIFA World Cup, with Navas doing the same on the latter occasion.
Earlier in 2010, a statue of him was built in the club's José Ramón Cisneros Palacios sporting facilities.
