There is a Diogo Jota performance that many Liverpool supporters will remember above all others. It summed him up perfectly.

But exactly the same could be said for the opposite approach. Mohamed Salah wrote in his tribute to Jota that the idea of returning to Liverpool after the break actively frightened him, so without attempting to speculate, the idea of playing on Merseyside without Jota might be took hard to bare.

Police said Jota died along with his brother Andre Silva, also a soccer player, in a car accident near the northwestern city of Zamora, Spain.
