Jota will forever be Liverpool's number 20, and he is deeply missed.
The Portuguese forward provided countless memorable moments for the club's fans during his five seasons at Anfield.
He joined from Wolves in 2020, already a proven goalscorer in the Premier League, and firmly believed he could break into Liverpool's star-studded frontline.
It's fair to say he not only did that but went far beyond.
Competing for playing time with Firmino, Mane, and Salah, Jota quickly won over fans with his excellent finishing ability and fighting spirit, including a hat-trick against Atalanta in only his 10th Champions League appearance.
Because of this, he earned an infectious chant, becoming an iconic melody on matchday terraces.
Jota scored 34 goals in his first two seasons, winning League Cup and FA Cup medals during that time. He then scored 7 and 15 goals in the subsequent two seasons, taking his goal tally past the 50-goal mark.
But more important than the number of goals was the crucial nature of many of them, which explains why Jota was so beloved.
He often helped Liverpool to victory with various crucial goals, including the last goal of his life.
In a Merseyside derby during the 2024-25 season run-in, the forward opened the scoring at Anfield with a dribble and shot towards the Kop.
That goal, and several other crucial goals throughout the season, helped Jota achieve his dream of becoming a Premier League champion.
He said after the match: "It's an extraordinary achievement for a small boy from Gondomar, that was my dream."
However, in July 2025, the football world was in shock. Jota tragically died in a car accident, along with his brother André Silva.
In honour of his legendary career, Liverpool decided to permanently retire his number 20 shirt, a number he had graced at all levels of the game.
He will never be forgotten.
