"Using the actual physical memorials within the form is very important to me."
Emma Rodgers, the sculptor of the new permanent memorial at Anfield in tribute to Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva explains the creation.

We honour the legacy of Diogo Jota with the announcement of the Diogo Jota FC Pro World Championship Trophy. 💚
With his family's blessing, the trophy has been renamed in recognition of Diogo's love for EA SPORTS FC and his passion for esports - both as a competitor and as the founder of his own esports team.
It will be lifted for the first time this summer at the FC Pro World Championship. We will continue working with Diogo's family to find meaningful ways to honour his legacy. Our thoughts remain with his family, friends, teammates, and everyone who knew and admired him.
Today, as every day, we remember Diogo Jota and André Silva, who tragically passed away one year ago.
Through immeasurable loss and incalculable pain, the impact they made and the legacies they left behind - not only within the footballing world, but in the hearts and minds of so many around the world - has shone through over the last 12 months.
All of our love, support, thoughts and prayers continue to be with Diogo and André's families, friends and all those whose lives were touched by them.
Forever in our hearts, forever our number 20 ❤️
