(Video) Liverpool fans begin signing wall of condolences for Diogo Jota on building near Anfield | OneFootball

Liverpool fans continue to leave tributes for Diogo Jota amid the ongoing outpouring of emotion over his death last Thursday.

Anfield has become a shrine to the 28-year-old and his brother Andre Silva, who were both killed in a car crash in northern Spain five days ago, with hundreds of flowers, shirts, scarves, flags and other items laid in memory of the two men.

Tributes have also been made at the entrance to the AXA Training Centre, to which the Reds’ players made a poignant return today as they reported for the first day of pre-season preparations, while a book of condolence remains accessible at LFC’s home ground until 8pm tonight.

Diogo Jota commemorated in wall of condolences near Anfield

Such has been the desire for the people of Liverpool (and beyond) to pay their respects to Diogo Jota that the wall of a building near the Main Stand at Anfield has begun to be adorned with messages of condolence for him and his brother.

A large-scale message of ‘His name is Diogo’ (with the dot on the I replaced by a heart) is visible from a distance, as is the caption ‘Forever 20’, and individual tributes have been left by members of the public with coloured chalk.

The wall is also adorned in the bottom corner with the acronym YNWA and a love heart, with all of these features captured in a video shared by The Redmen TV on X.

Diogo Jota captured the hearts of people throughout the world

The volume of tributes which have appeared throughout Liverpool and in other locations across the world encapsulate the esteem in which Diogo Jota has been held among Reds supporters and will forever continue to be.

His memory has also been commemorated by the abundant sight of his trademark video game celebration from footballers who’ve scored in various matches in recent days and replicated that pose in his honour.

We’ve all seen his qualities as a footballer over the years, and the heartbreaking eulogies from those who played alongside him at LFC and Wolves unmistakably show that – much more importantly – he was a wonderful human being who quickly became adored by those who had the pleasure of knowing him personally.

That so many people from all walks of life have wanted to do whatever they could to pay tribute to Diogo Jota illustrates the enormous impact that he made during his career. Of that, he and his family can forever be proud.
