# Soccer: Premier League champions Liverpool have retired squad number 20 in honour of late forward Diogo Jota, who tragically died in a car accident on Thursday last week. The club made the emotional announcement yesterday, after consultations with Jota’s wife, Rute, and family. His number will no longer be used across all levels, including Liverpool FC Women and Academy. Jota joined in 2020, wore number 20, and helped deliver Liverpool’s 20th league title. The club says he will forever be remembered as Liverpool’s eternal number 20.
