Liverpool is set to offer a memorial to the late forward, Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva. The two died in a car crash in Spain on July 3, 2025, when their Lamborghini veered off the A‑52 motorway near Palacios de Sanabria (Zamora) and burst into flames in the early hours of Thursday, July 3, at approximately 12:35 a.m. local time.

And the Premier League giants, in a planned memorial to the brothers, have released images of a sculpture that features a flowing heart design, a nod to the Portugal international's goal celebration, the two brothers' shirt numbers, 20 and 30, plus the lyrics to Jota's song, which is sung by Liverpool fans in the 20th minute at every game.

Liverpool say the sculpture will feature personal touches referring to Diogo Jota's life

Titled 'Forever 20', the club says, externalit celebrates Jota and Andre Silva's "lives, their bond, and the love and respect felt by family, team-mates and supporters across the world".

The memorial, which will be located at Anfield on 97 Avenue, has recycled the physical tributes left outside Anfield by fans paying their respects and incorporated them into the stone plinth

Liverpool have not yet announced when it will be unveiled, but will reveal the date in the future.

Liverpool retires Jota’s number

Liverpool formally announced that they would retire the number 20 shirt in honour of late forward Diogo Jota.

The Reds announced this on their X platform yesterday, Friday, July 11, after consulting with Jota's wife Rute Cardoso and his family, which means the Portugal international "will forever be Liverpool's number 20".

The decison comes after the tragic car crash that claimed the lives of the Portuguese star and his brother, Andre Silva who died near Zamora, Spain, on in the early hours of Thursday, July 3, at approximately 12:35 a.m. local time.

In a statement released by Liverpool, it noted that the number "will be retired in honour and memory of Diogo across all levels", including the women's team and throughout the academy.

They added: "The move is recognition of not only the immeasurable contribution our lad from Portugal made to the Reds' on-pitch successes over the last five years, but also the profound personal impact he had on his team-mates, colleagues and supporters and the everlasting connections he built with them."

Marking their 20th top-flight crown, they reiterated their commitment to retiring the jersey. And in a video shared on X at 20:20 BST on Friday they wrote,

"As a club, we were all acutely aware of the sentiment of our supporters - and we felt the same way," said Fenway Sports Group's chief executive of football, Michael Edwards.

"It was vitally important to us to involve Diogo's wife, Rute, and his family in the decision and to ensure they were the first to know of our intention. I believe this is the first time in Liverpool's history that such an honour has been bestowed upon an individual. Therefore, we can say this is a unique tribute to a uniquely wonderful person.

"By retiring this squad number, we are making it eternal - and therefore never to be forgotten."

The 20th top-flight crown means that a football team has won its national top division league title for the 20th time in its history.

Jota’s stint with LiverpoolJota joined Liverpool from Wolves on September 19, 2020, in an alleged £41 million deal potentially rising to £45 million with add-ons and scored 65 goals in 182 appearances for the club.

He played for Liverpool for almost five years in a deal that was set to expire in 2027.

In 182 appearances, he notched 65 goals and provided 26 assists across all competitions. His final match was on May 25, 2025, and his last goal came on April 2, 2025, in a Merseyside derby win over Everton.
