This tribute story is for all those whom Diogo Jota touched.

It is strange to feel connected to a person most of us have never met. Although, I suppose our connection to him is what binds us.

As we were reading about Diogo's life, one thing was clear. Whether he was in Porto, Wolverhampton, Liverpool or with the Portugese National Team, Diogo was able to build close bonds with those around him. So many remembered his friendship more than anything else.

Oh, he wears the number 20,
He will take us to victory,
And when he’s running down the left wing,
He’ll cut inside and score for LFC.
He’s a lad from Portugal,
Better than Figo don’t you know,
Oh, his name is Diogo!
