Liverpool Football Club has announced a poignant, permanent tribute to striker Diogo Jota and Andre Silva at Anfield, honouring the lives of the two Portuguese brothers who tragically died last year.
Named the Forever 20 sculpture, the memorial will be situated on 97 Avenue, a location that became a spontaneous shrine for thousands of fans following their deaths in a car accident last July.
Its design incorporates a heart, referencing Jota’s distinctive goal celebration, alongside lyrics from the fan chant, “he will take us to victory, oh, his name is Diogo”.
In a statement released on the Reds’ official website, the club articulated that the monument "celebrates their lives, their bond, and the love and respect felt by family, team-mates and supporters across the world." It is intended to "serve as a permanent symbol of love, unity and remembrance, and a place where everyone can reflect, remember and pay their respects."
