Diogo Jota will be eternally number 20 of Liverpool. Nine days after the brutal and sudden disappearance of the Portuguese striker in a road accident alongside his brother André Silva, Liverpool announced that number 20 would be definitively withdrawn for his former player. This decision will not only concern the club's professional male team, but also the women's teams and youth teams.
“This decision is a recognition not only of the immeasurable contribution of our young Portuguese to the successes of the Reds on the ground in the past five years, but also of the deep personal impact he had on his teammates, colleagues and supporters and the eternal links that he built with them”said the Reds press release. Michael Edwards, the Reds sports director, added: “This is a unique tribute to an exceptionally formidable person. By removing this issue, we make it eternal – and therefore never forgotten. “
