Diogo Jota

Diogo Jota's death in July 2025 still feels unreal to me. As a player I valued him as the antidote to highlight culture: no extravagant flourishes, just immaculate movement, sharp two-footed finishing, and a work rate that made him a coach's dream. Coming up through Pacos de Ferreira rather than a glamour academy, he earned every step to the very top, which made his goals feel honest in a way superstar goals sometimes do not. At twenty-eight, he had years of brilliance left. To me he remains proof that intelligence and graft can shine as brightly as genius, and be mourned just as deeply.
