Another Tribute for Diogo Jota and His Brother: Anfield Prepares Something Special
Both tragically passed away in a car accident last July.
The monument's base is shaped like a heart. From different angles, it reveals not only Jota's jersey number 20 but also his brother's number 30. The memorial also incorporates a gaming controller, symbolizing Jota's legacy beyond football. Both the heart and the gaming controller were elements the forward used in his goal celebrations. The artist also depicted lyrics from a celebratory chant about Jota, sung by Liverpool fans.
The stone base of the monument is partly constructed from recycled items left by grieving fans at Anfield in tribute to the brothers. The club has not yet announced the unveiling date for the memorial.
The tragic accident occurred on July 3rd on the A-52 road in the province of Zamora, western Spain. Jota, who significantly contributed to Liverpool's league title the previous season, was 28 years old. His brother, three years his junior, played for second-tier Portuguese club Penafiel.
