Jamie Carragher has also paid tribute to Jota, and now, UEFA have confirmed that they will be doing the same.

“On behalf of the European football community, we are deeply saddened to learn of the tragic passing of Diogo Jota, Portugal international and Liverpool FC forward, along with his brother Andre Silva,” they wrote via their X account.

“Our thoughts are with their family, friends, teammates and all those affected by this heartbreaking loss.

“A moment of silence will be observed at all of today’s and tomorrow’s UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 matches in memory of Portugal international and Liverpool FC forward Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva who tragically passed away today.”

The fact that Jota was only 28 years old makes this tragedy even harder to fathom.

His brother, Andre Silva, was also only 25 years old, which is what makes this entire situation so much more gut-wrenching.

Rest in peace, Diogo, you’ll forever be Liverpool’s number 20.
