Died tragically in a road accident on July 3 with his brother Andre Silva, Diogo Jota continues to be honored on the side of Liverpool. While the club, after consulting his family, has already announced the withdrawal of number 20, carried by the Portuguese in recent seasons, the Reds will also launch a permanent commemorative sculpture, which will serve as a place of memory in Anfield.
A temporary meditation area was also created near the stadium. For the friendly matches of the summer, Liverpool players will wear a special “Diogo J. 20” badge. A wreath will also be deposited before kickoff of summer friendly meetings. During the season, an “Forever 20” emblem will appear on the new jersey and the jacket of the players. Finally, a minute of silence will be respected before the first Premier League match of the season, against Bournemouth in Anfield on August 15.
