English Premier League giant Liverpool FC has decided to "immortalise" jersey No. 20 in the memory of Portugal national football team forward Diogo Jota, who passed away along with his brother Andre Silva in a horrific car accident in Spain on Thursday, the club said in a statement. For those unversed, Diogo Jota had his best professional stint with Liverpool. The 28-year-old won the FA Cup and League Cup under manager Jurgen Klopp before lifting the Premier League under Arne Slot during the 2024-25 season. The star footballer was also part of the Cristiano Ronaldo-led Portugal squad that lifted the UEFA Nations League in 2019 and 2025. Diogo Jota Dies: Liverpool Flag Flown at Half-Mast at Anfield, Fans Pay Tribute After Portugal Footballer and His Brother Pass Away in Car Accident (Watch Videos).
