As news of Diogo Jota’s tragic death rippled through Liverpool on 3 July, Anfield and its surrounds has become a place for the outpouring of fan grief.

A new mural was put up on the side of the stadium to honour the 28-year-old.

Supporters flocked to leave wreaths, scarves and replica kits at a makeshift shrine beside the Hillsborough memorial, turning the grass outside the stadium into a tapestry of red and white symbols of respect.

Not far away, the club’s flag at Liverpool Town Hall flew at half–mast to represent the city’s collective heartbreak.

A dedicated spot was created where bouquets and handwritten notes could be laid in memory of the 28-year-old forward and his brother, André Silva; within hours, the area was dotted with dozens of floral tributes.

Fans also draped scarves bearing his number 20 and the iconic “You’ll Never Walk Alone” slogan across railings.

Local authorities have officially opened an investigation into the crash, with more details expected to emerge in the coming days.

Funeral plans remain unconfirmed as friends, teammates, and fans begin to reflect on the legacy of a player whose skill and character touched millions.

Meanwhile, early reports from Spain have started to shed light on the incident.

According to a statement provided to Sky Sports by the Zamora Guardia Civil, initial indications suggest that a tyre blowout may have occurred while Jota and his brother were overtaking another vehicle on the road.

Nevertheless, it’s touching to see the community come together to honour such an influential player for the club.

To pay tribute to Diogo Jota, the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) has officially asked UEFA to observe a minute’s silence before Portugal’s opening Women’s Euro 2025 match against Spain in Bern on Thursday evening, as reported by the BBC.

This gesture will not be limited to just the Group B fixture; every Women’s Euro match scheduled for Thursday and Friday will begin with the same moment of remembrance.

Additionally, Portugal’s women’s team will take to the field wearing black armbands in honour of Jota and his brother.
