Liverpool Unveil Anfield Memorial to Diogo Jota
The sculpture includes tributes from fans, a bronze flower and a PlayStation controller as Liverpool creates a permanent place for remembrance.
- Liverpool Football Club unveiled the 'Forever 20' sculpture at Anfield on Thursday to honor forward Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, ahead of the first anniversary of their deaths.
- The brothers died in a car crash in the Spanish province of Zamora on July 3, 2025, prompting supporters to create a temporary shrine outside Anfield in the immediate aftermath.
- Designed by sculptor Emma Rodgers, the heart-shaped piece features the brothers' shirt numbers 20 and 30, embedded fan tributes, and a bronze PlayStation controller referencing Jota's gaming passion and signature celebration.
- Lyrics from the 'Bad Moon Rising' chant, which supporters sang at the 20-minute mark of every match last season, are hand-carved into the memorial to honor the connection between Jota and fans.
- Standing on 97 Avenue, the memorial serves as a 'permanent symbol of love, unity and remembrance,' providing a lasting place where visitors can reflect on the brothers' bond and enduring legacy.
