Liverpool FC has released a touching statement in memory of Diogo Jota, following his tragic death alongside his brother André Silva.
In this announcement, the club confirmed that the number 20 will be immortalized in history for the contribution that Jota made during the magnificent 2024-25 season, when Liverpool won the 20th title in history.
The club's statement reads:
"The number 20 will be rightly immortalised for his contribution as part of the 2024-25 championship team – the club's 20th title – with his signature move and the winning goal in front of the Kop in the Merseyside derby in April, which remains the last goal of his career."
The goal against Everton, scored in front of the legendary Kop, has already taken on an incredible emotional weight. It was not just a sporting moment, but a final farewell from a player who had won the hearts of the fans with his dedication, professionalism and fighting spirit on the pitch.
The demand from fans to retire the number 20 shirt has spread rapidly on social media, and the club's message reinforces the feeling that Diogo Jota will always be remembered not only as a great footballer, but as an integral part of Liverpool's history.
