The Portuguese forward's legacy extends beyond his impressive goal-scoring record, with his work ethic, skill, and kindness earning him a special place in the hearts of supporters. Liverpool manager Arne Slot praised Jota's family, saying, "It's not my place to tell them where they should look for comfort... but I can only hope that the feeling of love and affection that Diogo still generates brings them some solace".
Jota's impact on both clubs was significant, with 44 goals in 131 appearances for Wolves and 65 goals in 182 appearances for Liverpool. His contributions helped Liverpool win the Premier League title, and his number 20 jersey has been permanently retired by the club.
The match against Wolves was an emotional occasion, with fans from both teams paying tribute to Jota's memory. The atmosphere was electric, and players from both sides were visibly moved by the moment.
