On July 3, the Portugal national team officially announced that Diogo Jota has passed away in a car accident at the age of 28.
On April 3, during Matchweek 30 of the Premier League, Jota scored what would become the final goal of his career.
On April 3, in the Merseyside Derby at Anfield, Liverpool faced Everton in the Premier League’s 30th round. In the 57th minute, Diogo Jota showcased dazzling footwork, weaving past several defenders in a brilliant solo run before firing home a spectacular goal. His strike secured a vital victory for the Reds and extended their lead at the top of the table to 12 points.
This magnificent goal was the 150th of his career and, heartbreakingly, the last of his life.
