Liverpool’s special tribute to Diogo Jota revealed that will remain in place all season
Liverpool announced a series of special tributes to Diogo Jota after the tragic passage of the Portuguese striker earlier this month.
Jota and his younger brother André Silva died in a car accident in Zamora, in northwest Spain, after the trained vehicle underwent a tire rash during the overtaking.
Nésifs, the tragedy occurred only a few weeks after Jota married her childhood darling Rute Cardoso, the mother of her three children.
The funerals for the brothers took place a few days later and attended Arne Slot and many Liverpool teammates in Juta mourning, who had celebrated the glory of Premier League with him a few months before.
Liverpool immediately moved to honor the former star of Wolves by removing shirt No. 20 at all levels of the club, but they have now confirmed more permanent tributes to Jota.
According to an article on the club website, The thousand tributes made up of scarves, shirts and works of art that have made a temporary memorial have been removed, stored and saved and the floral elements will be composed and used in flower beds in Anfield, Axa Training Center and Melwood.
Other artefacts will be recycled and will constitute a commemorative sculpture which will be located outside Anfield in the future.
