"He will lead us to victory ", Liverpool fans once sang for him so loudly - and Diogo Jota always rewarded with goals.
The 28-year-old Portuguese striker who unfortunately passed away in a traffic accident is the real key gentleman of the Reds and always appears in a fatal position when the team needs to end. In September 2020, he transferred from Wolves to Anfield, injecting forward vitality into the Premier League championship.
His career began with his hometown club Pasos Ferreira, and his 2014 adult team debuted to start the glory of the club and the national team. Although he did not make a debut after signing with Atletico Madrid in 2016, he ushered in an explosion during his loan at Porto: he scored goals and gained experience in the Champions League.
In the subsequent loan journey of Wolves, he led the team to the Super League with 17 goals in the 2017-18 season. He can compete with all positions in the front line, and with diligent running and agile breakthroughs, he will destroy the defense and perfectly transplant this trait into the Premier League. During his time with Wolves, he won the seventh in the league twice and scored 9 goals in the quarterfinals of the 2019-20 Europa League.
Liverpool immediately recruited him under his command. Despite the arduous challenge of squeezing into the Trident of Firmino, Mane and Salah, he quickly showed great influence - he scored in double goals when he wore a red shirt for the 21st time, including a stunning away match against Atalanta in the Champions League.
Although the injury was interrupted, the killer's true nature was revealed after his comeback: he scored 21 goals in various competitions in the 2021-22 season, and now helps the team win the League Cup and FA Cup. He is the cornerstone of our championship: the League Cup quarter-finals made a substitute against Leicester City, the semi-finals away Arsenal scored twice to lock in the finals, and the FA Cup quarter-finals defeated Nottingham Forest.
Despite frequent injuries in the following season, he continued to contribute goals and assists to Klopp and his successor Slott. The final chapter of his football career is cruel and splendid: he was crowned the Premier League champion and the European League champion. The No. 20 jersey is forever recorded in history due to his contributions - as Liverpool's 20th championship in the 2024-25 season, he scored and locked the Merseyside derby victory after a signature sway in front of the Kop stands. This heartbreaking goal became a life masterpiece.
"In this special season, I finally won the championship that I chased for years, and it was in the best league in the world - for me, where I dreamed of playing football as a child - it was a moment I will always cherish."
Just last month, Jota and his Portuguese teammates were crowned the UEFA National League title, which brought him more joy and special moments. Afterwards, he and his wife Rut tied the knot and had three children.
"His name is Diogo ", and the fans' hymns are still echoing. We will never forget it.
Rest in peace, Diogo-Jota (1996-2025)
