The football world was left deeply moved after Liverpool star Mohamed Salah made a powerful emotional statement following their latest victory. In a heartfelt message, the Egyptian forward revealed his plans to honor the late Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away earlier this year, in a unique and unforgettable way.
“I want the Premier League and Liverpool to write the name Diogo Jota in all my goals I score this season until I reach 20 goals,” Salah declared. “This is the only way I can pay my last respect. Jota is still very much here with us—it’s just so sad that he’s no longer physically here with us, but he continues to live.”
Salah’s words were met with waves of emotion from fans around the world. Supporters flooded social media with messages of love and respect, many echoing the sentiment: “The fans can’t love you less, Mo. Please—we want to see this happen. Jota lives.”
The request is unprecedented, but it reflects the unbreakable bond between Salah, Jota, and the Liverpool family. Salah, who has been Liverpool’s talisman for years, made it clear that every goal he scores this season will be more than just a number on the scoreboard—it will be a dedication, a memorial, and a promise that Jota’s legacy will never be forgotten.
For Liverpool fans, the tribute feels both heartbreaking and beautiful. “Jota’s spirit is still with us,” one fan posted. “This is more than football—it’s family, it’s love, and it’s legacy.” Another added: “Mo Salah has just shown the world what true loyalty and respect look like.”
As the Reds chase another Premier League title under new coach Arne Slot, Salah’s mission to keep Jota’s name alive adds an extra layer of inspiration and unity. His gesture could also spark conversations between the club and the league about granting this extraordinary tribute—something that could set a precedent in football history.
What’s certain is this: every Salah goal from now on will carry more weight than ever before. It won’t just be about Liverpool’s pursuit of glory—it will be about keeping Jota’s memory alive forever in the heart of Anfield.
