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 ❤️
Gary Lineker on Gaza, "It's the worst thing I have seen in my lifetime. Constant images day in, day out of children losing their lives."
"But the minute you raise your voice against it you get accused of being a supporter of Hamas."

A single photo could cost me my life. What you see as just an image, I see as a direct threat to my existence. I often wonder how many times I must risk my life to document this televised genocide, while the world remains silent, and no real action is taken to stop it. For over a year and a month, I have been recording these atrocities. My colleagues and I, as journalists, are drained—worn down by relentless coverage, constant fear, anxiety, and the absence of basic necessities. Yet, we remain resolute, committed to uncovering the truth, documenting the crimes of the occupation, and pressing the international community to act and end this war.
In a normal world, today 630,000 students from Gaza are supposed to start their educational year, but in the genocide era, today they lost the second educational year, and instead they are waiting in the water, food and aid distribution lines.
