Liverpool supporters marked five years since Diogo Jota signed for the club. The anniversary came during a time of mourning, following his tragic death in a car accident.
Fans gathered at Anfield and shared tributes online. Many displayed banners with “DJ 20,” honoring Jota’s shirt number. The occasion was emotional, blending celebration of his contributions with grief at his loss.
The club retired Jota’s No 20 jersey across all teams. Liverpool players also wore “Forever 20” patches during games. Supporters joined in with black armbands and moving renditions of “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”
Plans are underway for a permanent Anfield sculpture. It will be built from items left by fans in memorial, ensuring Jota’s legacy endures.
International tributes have also been seen. In Hong Kong, fans created a “DJ 20” mosaic during a friendly against AC Milan. The gesture was matched with silence and respect from players and supporters alike.
At Liverpool’s first home match after the tragedy, fans held placards with “DJ20” and “AS30” in memory of Jota and his brother. A minute’s silence was observed before kickoff.
The anniversary served as a reminder of Jota’s importance. He scored vital goals, brought energy to the attack, and played a key role in trophy wins. Supporters continue to celebrate his influence on and off the pitch.
For many, the day was not only about loss but also about gratitude. Liverpool fans remain united in honoring the legacy of Diogo Jota, five years after his arrival at Anfield.
