Jota, known for his clinical finishing, relentless pressing, and intelligent movement, joined Liverpool from Wolves in 2020 and quickly became a fan favourite at Anfield. Over four seasons, he scored 47 goals in 131 appearances for the Reds, helping the team to domestic cup triumphs and Champions League finals.

Born in Massarelos, Portugal, Jota began his career with Paços de Ferreira before earning a move to Atlético Madrid. A breakout spell at Wolverhampton Wanderers under Nuno Espírito Santo made him a household name in the Premier League and earned him a transfer to Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool.

Internationally, Jota earned over 35 caps for Portugal, contributing to their Euro and World Cup campaigns with key goals and performances. He was widely admired for his humility off the pitch and tenacity on it.

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp described Jota as “a player of heart and instinct, someone who gave everything every single time he wore the shirt.”

Tributes have poured in from clubs, players, and fans around the globe, honouring a footballer who had so much more to give.
