Trent Alexander-Arnold Pays Emotional Tribute to Diogo Jota at Real Madrid Return
Trent Alexander-Arnold made an emotional return to Anfield with Real Madrid, paying a heartfelt tribute to his late former teammate Diogo Jota, who died in a tragic car crash in July 2025.[1][2] The English defender, who transferred to Real Madrid over the summer, visited the memorial dedicated to Jota and his brother André before Tuesday's Champions League clash between the two clubs.[1]
Accompanied by Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso and other club representatives, Alexander-Arnold laid flowers at the memorial site on Monday evening.[2] He also left a personal tribute that included a red PlayStation 4 controller—a reflection of Jota's passion for gaming—along with a handwritten note expressing his deep respect and affection.[1]
In his message, Alexander-Arnold wrote: "My mate Diogo, you are so missed but still so loved. Yours and André's memory will always live on. I smile every time I think about you and will always remember the great times we shared. Miss you mate, every day. Love Trent and family. Forever 20. YNWA."[2]
The visit held particular significance as it marked Alexander-Arnold's first return to Anfield since leaving Liverpool after over a decade with his childhood club.[1] Known as the 'Silent Assassin,' Jota was celebrated for his composure and goal-scoring ability during his five-year tenure at Liverpool, making over 140 appearances and winning multiple titles including the Premier League and FA Cup.[1]
Alexander-Arnold's touching gesture demonstrated the enduring bonds of friendship that transcend club loyalties in professional football.[2]
