Diogo Jota and his younger brother André Silva died last Thursday when their car hit the highway in Northern Spain. They were buried on Saturday in Sao Cosme, Portuguese. The funeral did not take place far from the place where Diogo Jota got married two weeks ago.
“It is a unique tribute to a unique person,” said Liverpool in a statement about the ‘freezing’ of the number 20. The club has made the decision in consultation with Jota’s wife and family. For men, the women and in the youth teams there will never be anyone with back number 20 at the reigning English champion.
,, It is the back number that he proudly wore and that led us to countless victories. Diogo Jota will be Liverpool’s number 20 forever. “
