Diogo Jota had recently undergone surgery to repair a collapsed lung, which led to him opting for the ferry instead of flying. This unfortunate decision was likely made due to his injury from last season.

The football world is rallying around the Jota family, with messages and tributes pouring in. In a bid to honor Diogo's memory, the Football Association (FA) is planning a tribute for him at the Community Shield match on 10 August.

Discussions are underway between the FA, Liverpool, and Crystal Palace to determine the best way to pay tribute to the late Portuguese international. While traditional methods such as black armbands and periods of silence are often used, the FA may adopt a more personal approach, taking guidance from Liverpool.

Diogo Jota's funeral will take place in Portugal on Saturday morning, with his former teammates and loved ones in attendance. This will be a difficult day for the football community, but it is a testament to the impact Diogo had on those around him.

As the football world comes together to mourn the loss of Diogo and his brother, it is clear that their memory will live on through the game they loved.
