The sudden death of Diogo Jota, Liverpool striker, has left a difficult vacuum to fill. His memory, however, is still alive thanks to a series of tributes that emerged from different corners of sport and music, reflecting the footprint that left beyond football.
On the first night of the Oasis meeting tour in Cardiff, the tribute was loaded with emotion. During the interpretation of “Live Forever”, Jota images appeared on the screens with the number 20 of Liverpool, generating a silence that said everything.
Before them, the Banda Telonera Cast, originally from Liverpool, dedicated its song “Walkaway” to the Portuguese footballer. “This is for Diogo Jota. Take care, brother,” said John Power, his vocalist.
Football also paid tribute. Ousmane Dembélé, of the PSG, honored Jota imitating his iconic Gamer celebration after scoring Bayern Munich in the Club World Cup: he sat in the corner, crossed his legs and pretended to hold control. The gesture was replicated in the MLS throughout the Nashville team, which after scoring a decisive goal, sat in a group to make the same celebration.
Wimbledon broke his tradition
Even in Wimbledon, a tournament known for its strict protocol, space was made for tribute. The Portuguese Francisco Cabral brought a black crepe on his left arm, something exceptional in a tournament that since 1877 demands to dress “predominantly white.” Nuno Borges, also Portuguese, wore the same badge, adding to the tribute for Diogo Jota and his brother André, who died in the same accident.
In Anfield, Liverpool raised his flag at half -mast. Dozens of fans approached to leave flowers, t -shirts and messages to remember a footballer who scored 65 goals and raised five titles with the Reds. Wolverhampton, club where Jota played 131 games and scored 44 goals, also expressed his pain: “He was worshiped by our fans, loved by his teammates and appreciated by all. We will miss you and we will always remember you.”
The fans of the Wolves gathered at the Molineux stadium, leaving offerings and messages. “He left this club as a star and will always be a star in our eyes,” the English club concluded.
Diogo Jota left too soon, but his legacy is still present: in the stadiums, in music, in the memory of all who enjoyed his talent and passion.
