In Liverpool, in Porto and well beyond, the tragic loss of Diogo Jota and Andre Silva is being mourned ahead of the funeral for the pair, which will take place later this morning.

When joining Liverpool, Jota made it clear he was hungry to compete in the Champions League once again. So it was only fitting that one of the highlights of his first campaign at Anfield came in the competition as he scored a hat-trick in an astonishing 5-0 victory away at Atalanta.

As a child Diogo Jota idolized Cristiano Ronaldo. In a career that took him to soccer stardom, he would go on to call the Portugal great a teammate and win some of the sport’s biggest trophies.
