Liverpool has announced that it would immortalised the number 20 shirt as a sign of respect to their late forward Diogo Jota.
The football club made the disclosure in a post via their website on Thursday.
It would be recalled that Jota passed away at the age of 28 following a car crash in Spain.
The incident also claimed the life of his brother, Andre Silva.
However, Liverpoo said the No. 20 jersey will be rightly immortalised for Jota’s contributions to Liverpool winning the 2024–2025 Premier League title.
Recall that the Reds won their 20th English top-flight league title last season.
Interestingly, Jota’s trademark shimmy strike sealed victory in April’s Merseyside derby—a poignant last goal of his life.
Jota is survived by his wife, Rute, and three children.
