Images unveiled of permanent memorial for Diogo Jota and André Silva
The brothers tragically died in July last year
Liverpool have unveiled images of the new permanent memorial to Diogo Jota and André Silva.
The brothers tragically died in a car crash in Spain last July.
The club says the memorial, titled 'Forever 20', will celebrate their lives, their bond, and the lover and respect felt by family, teammates and supporters across the world.
At the centre is a flowing heart sculpture, acknowledging Diogo's iconic goal celebration.
It also has the numbers 20 and 30, which the brothers wore with distinction at their respective clubs, as well as the lyrics to Jota's famous song which fans sing on the 20th minute of every game.
A date for when its formally unveiled has yet to be confirmed, but it will be positioned on 97 Avenue, where thousands of physical tributes were placed in the immediate aftermath of their loss.
The club said:
"It will stand on a Granby Rock-faced stone plinth, laser-engraved with a dedication to both brothers, and incorporated into the plinth itself are many of the physical tributes that were left at Anfield.
"This unique recycling process ensures the voices and emotions shared by fans at the time become a permanent and enduring part of this memorial.
"It will also include personal references that reflect Diogo’s life beyond football, including a games controller detail resting on the plinth, and will serve as a permanent symbol of love, unity and remembrance, and a place where everyone can reflect, remember and pay their respects."
