In the days since his tragic passing, supporters have been sharing stories that show just how much he cared for the community he called home.

Earlier this year, Jota made sure to celebrate Liverpool’s 20th league title by surprising the club’s youngest fans with a heartfelt video message.

During a BOSS KIDS event at the Exhibition Centre, families gathered to mark the club’s triumph.

We are champions!”

That small gesture summed up so much about Jota.

Even at the height of his career, he took time to make young fans feel seen and valued.

Off the pitch, Jota was a proud father of three, often speaking about how much family meant to him.

In a conversation last October with Liverpool’s performance psychologist, he described the joy and responsibility he felt every time he walked through the door at home.

His dedication, kindness and humility earned the admiration of teammates and supporters alike.

For the children who watched that video, it was a memory they’ll carry forever, proof that their hero cared about them as much as he cared about winning on the pitch.

His voice, his spirit, and his love for the game will not be forgotten.
