"I can say a lot about Diogo Jota"
The Liverpool boss continued: "All I have are feelings that I know many people will share, about a person, a player we love very much and a family we care deeply about. I am not thinking as a manager. They were a father, a son, a brother and an uncle and they belong to the family of Diogo Jota and Andre Silva, who have suffered an unimaginable loss.
My message to them is clear, you are never alone. The players, staff, Liverpool fans are with you and from what I saw today, the same is true across the football world . This is not just a reaction to the tragedy. It is also a reaction to the kindness of those involved and the respect that so many people have shown to these unfortunate boys.
Diogo Jota's departure is a huge loss for Liverpool.

As Liverpool FC, we are all shocked. Diogo was more than just a player, he was someone we all loved. He was a team-mate, a colleague and in all of those roles he was special. I can only speak so much about the value Diogo brought. Anyone who watched him play could see that. Hard work, hunger, commitment, great goal scoring ability, the qualities of a Liverpool player.
Diogo also has a side to him that not everyone gets to see. He is someone who never seeks fame but it comes to him. He is everyone's friend. Someone who makes others feel good about themselves just by being around them. Someone who cares deeply about his family.
The remains of Diogo Jota and his brother return to Portugal, the president will attend the funeral
The last time we spoke, I congratulated Diogo after Portugal won the Nations League and wished him luck before his wedding. Under different circumstances, it could have been a dream summer for Diogo and his family. And it makes me even more heartbroken that it ended like this.
When I first arrived at the club, one of the first songs I heard was the one the Liverpool fans sang for Diogo. I had never worked with him before but I knew straight away that if Liverpool fans, who have seen so many great players over the years, had such a unique song for Diogo, he must have something special.
That we have lost those qualities after such a terrible incident is something we have yet to accept. For this reason, we need everyone at the Club to come together and be there for each other. We owe it to Diogo, Andre Silva, their families and ourselves. My thoughts go to Diogo's wife Rute, their three beautiful children and Diogo and Andre Silva's parents.
When the time is right, we will honor Diogo Jota, we will remember his goals and we will sing his song. In the meantime, we will remember him as a unique person and mourn his loss. He will never be forgotten.
His name is Diogo".
Liverpool will have many activities to remember Jota
In a statement posted on Liverpool's homepage, the club's representative shared: "We will find a way to honor our beloved number 20 with all the respect and affection he deserves. We will try to make these words of gratitude meaningful. We are overwhelmed with sadness and pain. We have lost someone truly irreplaceable. Rest in peace, Diogo."

The first thing Liverpool did was to retire Diogo Jota's number 20 shirt permanently. This is unprecedented in the club's history. In addition, Liverpool also created an online condolence book so that fans around the world could send their final farewells to Diogo Jota. However, due to the huge demand, the website was overloaded, and fans were unable to do this at the moment. At Anfield, Liverpool opened a paper condolence book so that fans could come directly to write their farewells.
