Premier League champions Liverpool Football Club today remembered their former striker Diogo Jota on what would have been his 29th birthday. The club posted a heartfelt tribute on his birthday, featuring an image of Jota lifting the Premier League trophy with the caption: "Forever our number 20 ❤️".
In the post shared on Liverpool FC’s official X account, Jota is seen in the famous red jersey, joyfully holding the trophy – a moment that symbolises his dedication and love for the club. The club wrote:

Diogo Jota, who joined Liverpool from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2020, became a key player for the Reds. He scored many memorable goals and played a vital role in winning multiple titles for the club. His sudden death shocked the entire football world, and today, on his birthday, fans and former teammates continue to honour his memory.
Former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher also paid tribute by replying with a ❤️ emoji. Spanish club Cádiz CF wrote: "We stand with Liverpool FC in remembering Diogo Jota. All our love and strength to his family and friends. He will never be forgotten. 💛"
Fans’ reactions have been deeply emotional. One wrote, "RIP King, forever in our memories." Even a Manchester United fan commented, "From a United fan – rest in peace Diogo ❤️."
Liverpool has already announced that Jota’s iconic number 20 jersey has been permanently retired in his honour. Today’s post has become a symbol of unity across the football community, with everyone pledging to keep Diogo Jota’s memory alive forever.
