People have paid tribute to one of Diogo Jota's favourite hobbies at Anfield following the death of the Liverpool forward and his brother Andre Silva last week.

This weekend, residents in the Portuguese town where Jota and Andre grew up have also continued to pay tribute.

Several Xbox and PlayStation controllers and a copy of the FIFA 21 video game are among the many items that have been left at the memorial to Jota at Anfield.



Jota scored twice in the 4-0 win at Anfield and celebrated one of the goals by sitting down and mimed pressing buttons on a fake controller.



Jota did this celebration again after scoring a memorable last minute winner against Tottenham Hotspur in April 2023.

When the ECHO spoke to fans the day after his death at Anfield, the winner and celebration was brought up by several fans.

James Partridge, 39, who lives in Mossley Hill, said: “The winner against Tottenham in the 4-3 under Klopp a couple of years ago.

He popped up with so many important goals but that’s one that comes to the forefront of my mind.”

This celebration has been repeated by several stars in the last few days as the global football community comes to terms with the death of Jota and Andre.

PSG forward Ousmane Dembele and Jota’s former teammate Diogo Goncalves, who plays for Real Salt Lake, have repeated the celebration at the Club World Cup.

Rinsola Babajide, who used to play for Liverpool Women, also did the celebration after scoring for Nigeria at the African Cup of Nations yesterday.

After his death, EA Sports FC paid its own tribute to Jota via social media.

I think that's important.

"When we see that something is not working and we manage to change it, in tactical terms, it ends up being important in terms of reading the game in real life."

As tributes continue to pour in for Jota, a book of condolences remains open at Anfield.
