A new mural dedicated to Diogo Jota has been unveiled near Anfield, created by artist John Culshaw. Jota tragically passed away in a car accident in Spain, and the mural is part of several tributes from fans. The artwork portrays Jota in a celebratory pose, symbolizing love for the fans. Liverpool FC announced plans to retire the No. 20 shirt in Jota's honor, recognizing his contributions and memories. The club's first preseason match featured tributes commemorating Jota before they face AC Milan next.
"As Liverpool fans we know how to deal with tragedy and show our appreciation to someone who has given us so much," said Culshaw. "I picked this image to paint because it shows Diogo sending love out to the fans and by immortalising him in our city, it shows that we are sending the love right back."
Liverpool announced earlier last week they would retire the No. 20 shirt across all levels of the men and women's sides in honour of Jota. "Diogo has given us so many memories, it's only right that he will remain our number 20 forever," Culshaw said.
