Diogo Jota: Liverpool Release Images of Memorial to Late Forward

The heart-shaped sculpture will incorporate fans’ tributes and Jota’s song lyrics, with his retired No. 20 and Silva’s No. 30 visible from different angles.

  • Liverpool Football Club announced plans for a permanent memorial at Anfield honoring former forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva. Named 'Forever 20,' the sculpture will be situated on 97 Avenue.
  • Following the tragic deaths of the Portuguese brothers in a car accident in Spain last July, their passing sparked an immense outpouring of grief across Merseyside, prompting the club to collect fan tributes for the permanent monument.
  • The heart-shaped sculpture, constructed from recycled fan tributes, features the lyrics 'he will take us to victory, oh, his name is Diogo' and displays Jota's retired number 20 and Silva's number 30 from his time at Penafiel.
  • Situated on 97 Avenue, the memorial commemorates the 97 people killed in the Hillsborough disaster. The club stated the monument 'celebrates their lives, their bond, and the love and respect felt by family, team-mates and supporters across the world.'
  • Before his passing, Jota scored 65 goals in 182 appearances for Liverpool, helping the Reds win the Premier League and domestic cups. The club has not yet announced an official unveiling date for the sculpture.
