Diogo Jota Passes Away in a Fatal Accident, Liverpool Supporters Sing This Touching Chant for the Legend

Sad news comes from the world of football. Diogo Jota, Liverpool striker and Portugal national team player, passed away in a tragic accident on Wednesday, July 3, 2025. The accident occurred in Zamora, Spain, while Jota was driving with his brother, Andre Silva.

They were in a Lamborghini that unfortunately experienced a tire blowout while overtaking. The car went off the road and caught fire. Unfortunately, neither Jota nor his brother could be saved and died at the scene.

What makes it even more heartbreaking is that Jota had just married his girlfriend, Rute Cardoso, 11 days earlier. They had been blessed with three children. The life of this small family seemed to be at the peak of happiness before this tragedy struck so suddenly.

Known as a humble and passionate figure, Jota's departure has left many in shock. Not only his teammates and family but also Liverpool fans around the world are feeling a deep sadness.

As a form of tribute, Liverpool supporters sang the chant they usually sing when Jota is on the field. The lyrics are spine-chilling.

"Oh, he wears the number 20. He will take us to victory. And when he’s running down the left wing. He'll cut inside and score for LFC. He's a lad from Portugal. Better than Figo don’t you know. Oh, his name is Diogo! (Oh, he wears the number 20. He will take us to victory. And when he’s running down the left wing. He'll cut inside and score for LFC. He's a lad from Portugal. Better than Figo, don’t you know? Oh, his name is Diogo!)"

This song has become a symbol of how much Jota is loved by The Reds fans. The chant is an adaptation of a song from the Argentine club supporter, River Plate, modified by Liverpool fans to describe Jota's fast, sharp, and spirited playing style.

There is even a lyric that claims he is "better than Figo," a proud joke from fans for their idol who hails from Portugal.

Since joining Liverpool in 2020, Jota has created many historic moments. He has appeared nearly 50 times for the Portugal national team and has been an important part of the Liverpool squad in winning the Premier League title in 2025.

Now, even though Jota has gone forever, his spirit lives on. His chant will continue to resonate at Anfield, and the memories of him will always remain in the hearts of the fans. Farewell, Diogo Jota. Your name will never be forgotten.
