Atletico Madrid have shared a heartfelt video paying tribute to Diogo Jota ahead of their Champions League meeting with Liverpool.
The Portuguese forward, who played for both clubs during his career, tragically passed away in a car accident with his brother earlier this summer.
The video, titled “Always in our hearts, Diogo Jota,” features emotional scenes from Anfield and Jota’s hometown in Portugal. It marks the first step in a joint tribute planned by Liverpool and Atletico for Wednesday’s clash at Anfield.
Reports suggest Atletico were the first to propose the idea of honouring Jota together, and while UEFA’s approval is still pending, both sides are committed to ensuring the occasion reflects his legacy on and off the pitch.

Konaté: “Success Will Come” Despite the uncertainty, Konaté remains optimistic. Speaking in a recent interview, the French centre-back emphasized that this phase is part of a bigger journey. According to him, Liverpool are still adapting — especially with new players settling into the squad. He believes that with time, chemistry will improve and trophies will follow. 🏆 He also pointed to last season’s success as proof that the team has what it takes to bounce back stronger. 🤝 A Call for Unity More than anything, Konaté stressed the importance of togetherness between the team and its supporters. He praised the Anfield faithful and urged everyone to stay united, insisting that better days are ahead if patience is maintained. ❤️ Interestingly, his comments come at a time when his own future at the club remains uncertain, with his contract situation yet to be resolved heading into the summer. 🔍 What Happens Next? Liverpool’s season is now entering a defining period. Results must improve, injuries need to clear, and stability must return — both on and off the pitch. But if Konaté’s words are anything to go by, belief inside the squad is still very much alive. And sometimes… that’s all it takes before everything turns around. 👀🔥
