“[Liverpool have] a phenomenal forward like Florian Wirtz, critics will regret with negative comments. An outstanding player. [Hugo] Ekitike, superb talent. It’s a really good well-judged squad. No need for concern about Liverpool, they'll bounce back.”
Heartfelt Words for Diogo Jota

A devastating blow for all the boys as well. Not a single person will ever use it for poor performances though it's a fact. Being in that space where he was omnipresent. Dealing with that emotionally is challenging. Unbearable.”
