Liverpool has revealed a striking new memorial dedicated to their late striker Diogo Jota and his brother, André Silva. The sculpture, titled 'Forever 20', is an innovative creation fashioned from hundreds of fan tributes, including flowers, scarves, and shirts.
These materials were gathered following the tragic car accident on July 3, 2025, which claimed the lives of Jota and Silva while traveling to England. The memorial's design is symbolic, featuring a heart shape from the front and incorporating the squad numbers 20 and 30 at various angles.
It also includes a video game controller, referencing Jota's passion for gaming, and the lyrics to his beloved fan chant are etched into its folds. The sculpture will be permanently placed on 97 Avenue, a street itself named in honor of the Hillsborough disaster victims.
This location underscores Liverpool's dedication to commemorating those taken too soon. The club's unwavering support for Jota's memory is further evidenced by fans singing his chant in the 20th minute of every match this season.
