A mural of former Liverpool striker Diogo Jota has been unveiled at Anfield days after his tragic death.
Jota and his brother were tragically killed in a car crash in Spain after their sports car caught fire.
The 28-year-old forward’s tragic death continues to reverberate through the squad and indeed around the world.
Liverpool implemented a staggered return.
Pre-season fitness tests planned for Friday were cancelled “to give the squad more time to process Thursday’s news and say goodbye” to Jota and his brother.
Players trickled back from today onwards, allowing individuals to grieve privately and attend memorial services in Portugal.
There was been an outcry for a mural of Jota to be created in his honour.
And just five days after his passing, one has gone live in his honour.
Earlier today we reported that there were plans on ground for a Jota mural around Anfield.
And now, the Liverpool Echo are reporting that the “FOREVER 20” mural in honour of Jota has appeared at Anfield.
The mural by street art collective Murwalls invites fans to share their own memories of the former striker, creating a massive community tribute on the wall of Sybil Road.
People gathered at the wall today, July 8, a mere stone’s throw away from Anfield Stadium.
YNWA” and “RIP Jota, thanks for the memories”.
