Liverpool, the reigning champions of the English Premier League, is gearing up for a crucial clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield today. Despite the absence of the player who tragically died in a car crash last July, the team promises to pay tribute. Diogo Jota will be missing, but his memory will live on the pitch.
Diogo Jota, a former striker and key figure for both clubs, played for Liverpool after a stint at Wolverhampton. He joined Wolverhampton in 2017 on loan from Atletico Madrid, then moved to Liverpool in 2018. In 2020 he signed a five‑year contract with Liverpool and won the league with the club.
The first matches between Liverpool and Wolves since Jota's death will be marked by tribute to his memory. At the previous match in August, his wife and daughter were present. Fans now anticipate an emotional occasion.
