Liverpool’s talisman Mohamed Salah has struck an emotional chord with fans worldwide after making a heartfelt promise ahead of tonight’s Champions League opener against Atlético Madrid at Anfield.
Speaking before kick-off, the Egyptian King revealed that he plans to dedicate any goal he scores to his former teammate and “forever Liverpool superstar,” Diogo Jota.
“Tonight we begin our Champions League campaign, and with a heavy heart I remember Jota,” Salah said. “This competition was his favorite when he was still with us. I want him to know I still think of him, and my goal today against Atlético Madrid is to score and dedicate it to him. He will forever continue to live on.”
Jota, who produced countless unforgettable moments under the Anfield lights, clearly left a lasting mark on those he played alongside. Salah’s moving tribute is a reminder of the bonds that extend far beyond the game itself—of brotherhood, unity, and respect within the Liverpool squad.
Salah has written his own iconic history in this competition, delivering some of Liverpool’s most memorable Champions League goals. Now, with his vow to honor Jota, tonight’s clash with Atlético carries even deeper meaning.
Fans on social media have flooded timelines with praise for Salah’s gesture, calling it “the mark of a true legend.” Many stressed that this moment goes beyond football—it’s about love, remembrance, and family at Liverpool.
With Simeone’s men aiming to spoil Liverpool’s European return, Salah’s words will inspire both teammates and supporters. Should he find the net tonight, the roar that erupts inside Anfield will echo more than victory—it will be a tribute.
Much love. Much respect. Diogo Jota will never be forgotten.
