Diogo Jota’s heartbreaking message in Liverpool interview filmed shortly before death

Liverpool will release an in-club video of their players casting their eye over their Premier League winning campaign with Diogo Jota featuring as never before seen clips are shown

Liverpool will release a video including a heartbreaking interview with Diogo Jota where he reflects on winning the Premier League title as ‘a moment he will cherish forever’. The video will be released on Tuesday morning and include footage recorded with the forward shortly before his death rocked the footballing world.

The Portuguese star tragically died last month after claiming his one and only Premier League winner’s medal. Tributes have poured in ever since as the Reds remember their forward.

Jota was again remembered in Sunday’s Charity Shield at Wembley and Liverpool’s social media account confirmed they would be releasing an in-house documentary where their players cast their eye over their top flight triumph last season.

Several players featured in the trailer before Jota featured with the club icon saying: “To arrive at this particular season with the title I’ve been chasing for a lot of years. It is a remarkable achievement. It’s a moment I will cherish forever. It was outstanding.”

Throughout the trailer it shows some of the team’s most important moments en route to them claiming the title in Arne Slot’s first season. A large chunk also shows the unprecedented celebrations that took part at Anfield once the Premier League was secured.

Goalkeeper Alisson spoke over a clip where players and staff were celebrating together and said: “I think this picture shows a lot about how we value every person at this club.”

It is after that that Jota appears on screen for the first time, sat in a chair as he’s quizzed on the biggest moments of the season. The forward was signed by Jurgen Klopp in 2020, just after Liverpool’s latest title success. He then had to wait five years to be part of their second triumph.

Also included in the trailer was Dominik Szoboszlai, playing in his second season at Anfield, claiming: “A little kid’s dream came true.” Mohamed Salah said: “They know the love I have for them. It is a great moment.”

Liverpool have continued to pay tribute to Jota, announcing the retirement of the No 20 shirt that he had worn. They will play their first Premier League home game since his death when they begin the season on Friday against Bournemouth.
