The heartbreak surrounding the tragic passing of Diogo Jota continues to ripple across the football world, and now Luis Díaz has opened up for the first time — delivering an emotional and revealing tribute that has left fans stunned and shaken.
In a statement shared earlier today, the Colombian winger admitted he was left in complete shock when he woke up to the news of his teammate’s death.
“When I saw the news upon waking up, I couldn’t hold back my tears. It’s very sad… he was a great person. BUT…”
What followed was a powerful and personal confession that revealed just how deep Jota’s impact was on Díaz — not only as a teammate, but as the very reason he ended up wearing the red shirt of Liverpool.
“He was key in my arrival at Liverpool. People don’t know this, but behind the scenes, he vouched for me. He spoke to the coaches, made me feel welcome, and told me I had what it takes to thrive here. We built a good friendship and a healthy competition on the pitch — always pushing each other, always laughing.”
Díaz’s words paint a picture of brotherhood, respect, and admiration, far beyond what the fans ever saw. What began as professional camaraderie evolved into something much more meaningful.
He ended the message by saying:
“This loss is personal. I lost a teammate, yes. But more than that — I lost someone who believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. I’ll carry his spirit with me every time I step on the pitch.”
🕊️ As tributes pour in from across the globe, one thing is clear: Diogo Jota’s legacy lives on — not just through his goals, but through the hearts he touched.
