Diogo Jota Immortalised? Liverpool Pay Artistic Tribute to Late Player Near Anfield

• Liverpool Football Club's fans and community continue their efforts to immortalise Diogo Jota
• Jota and his brother Andre Silva tragically passed away in a car accident on Thursday, July 3, 2025

Liverpool Football Club and its fans continue with efforts to preserve the memory of their former player Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away on July 3.

Jota and his brother André Silva died in a car accident in Zamora, Spain, as they were on their way to catch a ferry to England for the winger to resume pre-season.

He was compelled to travel by water as he could not fly after undergoing a lung surgery and was expected to undergo further checks in Liverpool.

The football world came together to pay tribute to the late footballer, with many top stars from Liverpool and the Portugal national team present at his funeral service.

According to Daily Express, former teammates, including Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and former Wolves star Ruben Neves, promised to support his family.

Liverpool also reportedly decided to pay his salary for the remaining two years left on his contract, worth over £14 million and support his children's education.

Fans dedicate mural to Jota

Liverpool published an official statement that a fan artist, John Culshaw, has completed a mural in honour of Jota at a building near Anfield.

The mural was painted on the exterior of the Halfway House pub, just a short walk from Anfield, and it is a picture of one of Jota's iconic celebrations.

“As Liverpool fans, we know how to deal with tragedy and show our appreciation to someone who has given us so much,” said mural artist Culshaw.

“I picked this image to paint because it shows Diogo sending love out to the fans, and by immortalising him in our city, it shows that we are sending the love right back.”

“Diogo has given us so many memories, it’s only right that he will remain our number 20 forever,” he added.

The mural once again reminds fans how loved Jota was, and they applauded the creativity behind immortalising him with art.
