When I heard the news of Jota's death, I believe everyone was in the same mood as me, shocked! Confuse?

On July 3, 2025, Spanish "Marca" released a major news that Liverpool striker Diogo Jota was in a car accident while on vacation in Spain and died unexpectedly at the age of 28. As soon as the news came out, it instantly caused an uproar on the entire network, and fans and sports media around the world were both uproared.

We know that this kind of news usually doesn't go wrong, but everyone, all media, are repeatedly checking the source and authenticity of the news because the news is too shocking and too surprised that people don't want to believe it is true.

was not flipped and the message was finally confirmed.

Jota and his 26-year-old younger brother Andrei Jota were riding in a car that deviated from the road 65 kilometers from the A-52 road in Zamora, Spain, causing a fire and unfortunately died.

Until the end, people still hope that the news is fake.

"When I was six years old, my father signed me up for swimming classes. I cried and asked him if he could change it to football. Because the training time of the two sports conflicted, I love football so much."

Since then, Jota and football have never been separated again.

At that time, Jota had just a simple love for football. His idol was Ronaldo, but he had not thought that he could become a professional player or even become a teammate of the national team with his idol. When he was 9 years old, Jota entered the Youth Training Academy in Gondomar, but because of his short stature, he was not valued by the club. Until he was 16 years old, his parents were still paying him the tuition for the Youth Training Academy.

"Gondomar is my second home, but it's more like a paid football school. I don't have the same salary as Ronaldo in the Sporting Sporting junior team. On the contrary, parents have to spend money to get me to play." In December 2013, in a youth football tournament, Guimaraes' scout Ivo Rodriguez saw Jota, 17.

"He is the youngest player on the court, but I could tell at a glance that he would become a star."

"After I got home, I immediately wrote a report to the club, suggesting that they sign Diogo as soon as possible. Later, I watched him another game, but to be honest, the first time was enough. Diogo was the player we observed the least, but he ranks first in the rating list. He can always do what others can't do."

At that time, it only costs 2,400 euros to sign 17-year-old Jota, and even pay in installments, but because of his figure, Guimaraes did not choose Jota in the end.

After many twists and turns, Jota came to Paso Ferreira's youth team. He seized the opportunity and made rapid progress.

In the 2014-15 season, head coach Paul Fonseca promoted Jota to the first team and made his first team debut in the Portuguese Cup against Athletic Regengos on October 19, 2014.

However, during a physical examination, Jota was diagnosed with heart problems and could not train or compete for almost a month.

"I know this may mean withdrawing from the football world, but I don't believe it will happen for a second."

Jota is lucky that his heart problem is not serious. On February 20, 2015, Jota came on as a substitute against Guimaraes and made his debut in the Portuguese Super League.

In the 2014-15 season, Jota Portuguese played more than 10 times and scored 2 goals. He is the youngest top league goal-scoring player in the history of the Pasos Ferreira Club. At the end of the season, Pasos Ferreira signed a five-year player contract with Jota.

In the 2015-16 season, Jota Portuguese played more than 31 times, scored 12 goals and sent 8 assists. At the age of 20, he has become a hot football star in Portugal.

Jota's wonderful performance attracted the attention of many European giants, and Atletico Madrid finally took the lead. They signed Jota with 7 million euros in March 2015 and signed a five-year contract with Jota.

"Simone is the most stringent coach I have ever encountered in the preseason. We got up at 7 in the morning and went to the football field after breakfast, but we didn't play football, we just ran, and kept running."

"Then we had another 'breakfast', followed by 20 groups of gym training, and studied tactics at noon. Once, a guy fainted directly. Simeone said that this was the unprepared ending."

"Simone made me understand Atletico Madrid's philosophy. Their playing style may not be likable, but they did it to the extreme in their own field."

Jota failed to impress Simeone, and soon he was loaned back to Portugal. He spent his 2016-17 season in Porto, 27 times in Porto, scoring 8 goals and 7 assists. In the 2017-18 season, Jota was loaned to the Championship Wolves, and Jota soon conquered the club management with his outstanding performance. On January 30, 2018, Wolves announced that they had reached a permanent transfer agreement with Jota, with a transfer amount of 14 million euros.

In the 2017-18 season, Jota fully demonstrated his strength in the English Championship, making 44 appearances in the English Championship, scoring 17 goals and 6 assists, helping Wolves advance to the Premier League as a champion.

In the 2018-19 season, Jota, who played in the Premier League for the first time, showed no discomfort at all. He played 33 times in the Premier League, scored 9 goals and gave 5 assists, helping Wolves win the 7th place in the Premier League.

Because Manchester City won all three domestic trophys of that season, Wolves also won the opportunity to participate in the second round of the UEFA Europa League with 7th place. This is the first time Wolves has participated in the intercontinental competition since the 1980-81 season..

On January 19, 2019, in the Wolves' 4-3 home victory over Leicester City, Jota scored a hat-trick, becoming the second Portuguese player to score a hat-trick in the Premier League after Ronaldo.

The final shot in the 93rd minute made Jota very excited.

"Win such a game, I feel like the best person in the world."

In March 2019, Jota was called up by the Portuguese national team for the first time and was selected for the roster of the national team in the UEFA European League finals in June. Although Jota did not get a chance to play, for the 23-year-old Jota, being selected for the national team is already the greatest affirmation of him.

In the 2019-20 season, although affected by injuries, Jota continued to move forward steadily, playing 34 appearances in the Premier League, scoring 8 goals, sending 1 assist, and making 8 appearances in the UEFA Cup and scoring 6 goals.

On December 12, 2019, in the last UEFA Europa League group stage against Besiktas at home, Jota came on as a substitute in the 56th minute. He scored in just 72 seconds and completed a hat-trick in 12 minutes to help Wolves win 4-0.

In September 2020, Jota boarded a plane to Liverpool. He transferred to Premier League giant Liverpool for a surcharge of £41 million + £4 million.

In that year affected by the new crown epidemic, Jota's transfer fee was already high, but Wolves chairman Jeff Sch still regrets selling Jota to Liverpool.

"In the past eight to nine years, I don't think we should have sold Diogo Jota. At that time, I talked to Nuno, we might be selling a player, maybe Diogo, or Adama Traore."

"Then Nuno chose Adama to stay because he thought Adama was crucial to his style of play. Of course, Diogo was injured a little severely at the time. He was injured for two months and then another two months. He has not performed very well in the past three to four months."

Before signing Jota, former Liverpool coach Klopp had been following Jota for two or three years, and he said he knew Jota well.

"We have many ways to use him. He is 23 years old, has great potential and has not yet established style. He is fast, can cooperate, can defend, and is good at pressing. He can make the team's playing style more difficult to predict and provide possibilities for different tactics."

"In addition, he has the qualities of our team, passion, desire and concentration. I am very happy that he can come, and he is a great person, he can bring what we lack."

Jota quickly proved that Klopp was right. In the match against Arsenal, Jota made his Premier League debut at Liverpool, and 8 minutes later he broke Arsenal's goal, which was Klopp's 400th Premier League goal since coaching Liverpool.

Jota was completely in a gap before scoring, showing his keen sense of the game and his accurate judgment of space.

Jota scored his 10,000th goal in club history in the Champions League group stage against Central Jutland.

In the Champions League group stage with a 5-0 victory over Atalanta, Jota scored a hat-trick, becoming the first player to score 7 goals in Liverpool's first 10 games since Robbie Fowler in 1993.

On November 22, Jota scored his second goal against Leicester City, helping the team win 3-0, becoming the first Liverpool player to score in the first four home games of the Premier League.

However, Wolves chairman Jeff Sch was also right at the time. Injuries have been plaguing Jota during his five seasons of playing for Liverpool, which has prevented him from becoming Liverpool's absolute main player.

But the dynamic striker never chose to give up, he always seized every opportunity and scored many crucial goals.

In the semi-finals of the 2021-22 League Cup, Jota scored twice, helping Liverpool defeat Arsenal 2-0 away and advance to the finals. In the final of the League Cup, Jota scored a penalty in the penalty shootout after drawing with Chelsea in overtime, helping Liverpool win the League Cup for the first time since 2012.

In the 2021-22 FA Cup final, Jota appeared in the 33rd minute of the substitute Salah. In the penalty shootout, Jota scored a penalty kick, helping Liverpool win the penalty kick and win the FA Cup championship.

On April 30, 2023, in Liverpool's home game against Tottenham Hotspur, Jota scored a winning goal in stoppage time, helping Liverpool defeat Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 at home.

In January 2024, because Salah was injured, Jota and Nunez partnered with Liverpool's forward. Jota scored 5 goals and sent 4 assists in seven Premier League appearances.

led Liverpool to defeat Burnley, Newcastle United, Bournemouth, Chelsea and Brentford, and won the Premier League Best Player in January 2024.

In the 2023-24 season, although Jota missed many games due to cruciate ligament and thigh injuries, he still contributed 15 goals and 5 assists to Liverpool in various competitions. In the 2024-25 season, Jota was entrusted with an important task by the new head coach Arn Slot. Although it was still affected by injuries, Jota still played a key role in Liverpool's winning of the Premier League championship.

On August 17, 2024, Liverpool defeated Ipswich 2-0 away in the first round of the Premier League. Jota scored the first record for Liverpool and scored Slott's first Premier League goal since taking office.

On January 14, 2025, Liverpool played against Nottingham Forest, Jota scored 1 goal on the bench, helping Liverpool draw 1-1 with his opponent.

In the 2024-25 Premier League season, Liverpool has three 1-0 games. Without mentioning the name, people know who the goal is. Diogo Jota.

In the Merseyside Derby on April 2, Liverpool surrounded Everton and bombarded him for more than an hour, and Jota decided the winner.

In the 57th minute, Jota, who was ambushing near his opponent, stole the ball, cleverly dribbled past two defenders and scored. This was a crucial goal on Liverpool's road to the Premier League championship.

Now, this goal has always become Jota's masterpiece.

This is Diogo Jota, who can always find a way to break through the goal in the most intensive defense and never wastes opportunities. Even if he is injured and absent, fans firmly believe that he will return.

Even if the dexterous dribble fails, Diogo has another secret weapon.

Jota, who has a sensitive sense of smell in front of the goal, will lie near the far post and then use a header to convert the cross into a goal.

Jota, who is 178 cm tall, once ranked among the top of the European League headers, and even scored more headers than Ronaldo and Kane.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher said: "I have worked with many outstanding strikers in Liverpool, such as Irving, Suarez, Torres, Fowler. But I think Jota is the best finisher among them. If he gives him a chance, he can always grasp it accurately. In the 2023-24 season, he has 1 goal or 1 assist every 84 minutes."

Diorgo Jota did not become the world's top star due to injury. The 2024-25 season was the highest brightest season in his career. He helped Liverpool win the Premier League championship and Portugal won the 2025 European League championship.

But Jota always gives people an optimistic look, and people will eventually remember him, a key gentleman who likes to smile and loves life.

Jota once said in an interview with The Athletic: "I just love life! I want to enjoy life and live a happy life."
