In messages released to mark one year since the death of the two brothers, Liverpool guarantees that Diogo Jota and André Silva will remain "forever" in the memory of the club's family.
"He will forever be our number 20, our boy from Portugal", reads one of the publications shared by the English club, in reference to the well-known chant of 'Reds' fans.
Liverpool also released an evocative video with images of Diogo Jota's career at the club and testimonials from three fans, remembering not only the Portuguese striker's sporting contribution, but also his human qualities.
On the eve of the event, Liverpool inaugurated the "Forever 20" memorial, a sculpture installed next to the Anfield stadium, at the site where, since July 2025, fans have laid flowers, scarves, shirts, and other souvenirs in honour of the two brothers.
According to the club, the work, by artist Emma Rodgers, features at its centre a sculpture of a moving heart, in honour of Diogo Jota's iconic goal celebration.
Seen from different angles, it reveals the numbers 20 and 30 that adorned the backs of the brothers' shirts.
The work also incorporates the lyrics of Jota's famous song, constituting a permanent tribute and a space dedicated to his memory.
Diogo Jota, a 28-year-old Portuguese international, and his brother André Silva, 25, died on 3 July 2025, following a car accident in Spain.
The Portuguese international striker played for Liverpool for five seasons, playing 182 games and scoring 65 goals, during a journey in which he won a championship, an FA Cup, and two English League Cups.
The date was also marked by the Portuguese team, which, on 3 July, Lisbon time, paid tribute to Diogo Jota after beating Croatia 2-1 in the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup in Toronto, Canada.
After the final whistle, the players gathered on the pitch, and captain Cristiano Ronaldo wore Portugal's '21' shirt, usually worn by the former striker, then pointed to the sky before the entire team delegation posed for a photo.
Since Portugal's first game at the 2026 World Cup, a black-and-white photograph of Diogo Jota has been projected for a few seconds on the stadium screens after the announcement of the team's starting eleven, as a tribute that the Portuguese Football Federation has maintained for the Portuguese international throughout the competition.
