Emotional tribute ties Liverpool hearts together

Bruno Duarte, Diogo Jota’s close friend and former youth teammate, finished the Porto Marathon wearing a Liverpool shirt bearing ‘Jota 20’. He briefly hugged Jota’s widow, Rute Cardoso, before continuing his run — proving that friendship really can go the distance… literally.

Liverpool have retired Jota’s No.20 shirt, and tributes poured in from teammates and Real Madrid figures ahead of Tuesday’s match.
