Diogo Jota’s legacy as a great player and cherished comrade will shortly be commemorated by Liverpool Football Club with not one, but two eye-catching street paintings close to Anfield. Days after his untimely death, this heartfelt remembrance was revealed, highlighting Jota’s profound influence on Liverpool FC and the football community at large.

Murals Confirmed by Renowned Artists

John Culshaw, a mural artist, has said that he will start painting one of the tributes next week after a social media post featuring an AI-inspired idea. In addition, the renowned MurWalls studio is creating a new mural on Coningsby Road, which will be close to their current piece of Virgil van Dijk and will add to the colorful painting of famous Liverpool characters that surrounds Anfield.

Celebrating “Forever Our Number 20”

With phrases like “Forever our number 20″ written on them, both murals will be potent visual memorials that capture the raw passion that has engulfed supporters since Jota’s passing. These pieces will be added to the collection of well-known murals that pay tribute to Anfield’s vibrant culture and legends like Rush, Salah, Gerrard, and Klopp.

A Community United in Grief

With supporters laying flowers, scarves, jerseys, balloons, and handwritten condolences beneath the famous Shankly Gates, Anfield has become a center of sadness after Jota and his brother André Silva passed away in a vehicle accident in early July. The unexpected display of emotion is felt not only in Liverpool but also throughout Merseyside and the larger football community. Everton players even displayed solidarity by placing wreaths outside Anfield.
