This choice highlights just how much the Portuguese footballer served as a benchmark for the entire football world and how deeply his passing has left an irreplaceable void.
Tuttosport emphasized that through his play, dedication, and energy in every match, Jota became an example for young players aspiring to become great champions.
Earlier, Liverpool head coach Arne Slot revealed the club paid Jota’s family the full amount stipulated in his contract.
