In a deeply moving and heart-wrenching message, a Liverpool player has broken his silence following the tragic death of teammate Diogo Jota and his younger brother André Silva.
The statement, shared privately but now resonating across the football community, captures the raw sorrow and disbelief sweeping through the club.
“I am truly lost for words. Until yesterday, I never thought there would be something that would frighten me of going back to Liverpool after the break,” the statement begins, each line heavy with grief.
“Teammates come and go, but not like this. It’s going to be extremely difficult to accept that Diogo won’t be there when we go back.”
The player, whose identity remains unconfirmed but is believed to be a close friend and teammate of Jota’s, paints a picture of a shattered dressing room.
The bond between players goes beyond the pitch, and for many in the Liverpool squad, Jota was more than just a forward — he was a brother.
“My thoughts are with his wife, his children, and of course his parents who suddenly lost their children. Those close to Diogo and his brother André need all the support they can get.”
“They will never be forgotten.”
The tragedy has not only shaken Liverpool Football Club but has sent shockwaves throughout the global football community.
From Real Madrid to Bayern Munich, clubs have held moments of silence, and countless players have paid tribute online.
Diogo Jota, only 28, was at the peak of his career, adored by fans and respected by teammates for his work ethic, humility, and heart.
His brother André Silva, 25, was a promising talent in Portugal’s second division with Penafiel.
Their sudden death in a car accident has left the football world grieving a double loss that feels both unreal and unbearable.
The Liverpool squad is expected to hold a private memorial for Jota once the players return from international duty and off-season breaks. But the scars of this tragedy will linger far longer.
As this teammate’s tribute painfully reminds us, some losses in football are felt far beyond the final whistle.
Rest in peace, Diogo Jota and André Silva. You will always be part of the Liverpool family.
