"Using the actual physical memorials within the form is very important to me." Emma Rodgers, the sculptor of the new permanent memorial at Anfield in tribute to Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva explains the creation.

One day maybe we get to see a Jota statue at Anfield 🥹

Not sure she could have done a better job. Outstanding !!

Diogo is loved by many people and that’s the sad reality, I will always carry the grieve in my heart and prayers always up there for his family

Beautifully done ♥️

Truly beautiful piece, brought a tear to my eye. Bravo 👏

Such a good memorial. 👏🏻 #LFC

@AlexF1BCL You guys did a very commendable job👏🏿👏🏿,thumbs up👌🏿👍🏿.FORVER 2️⃣0️⃣❤️🕊️

I love it, she's done a magnificent job, forever our 20 & 30 now. This family will never walk alone.

Great Job Emma, when I come to anfield it will mean so much to see this in person. May Diogo and his brother RIP

Such a beautiful tribute, and so much thought gone into it. I look forward to seeing it August and paying my respects to Diogo and André. Well done Emma and Liverpool FC YNWA

Very well conceived, the PS controller is the chefs kiss….

She a real one love plaque 😍

Congratulations to LFC and Emma Rodger’s in particular-you really did get this tribute so right! It’s beautiful and a wonderful testimony.

🕊️⚽ That’s a really powerful artistic intention from Emma Rodgers. Anchoring the memorial in real, physical references makes the tribute feel grounded and authentic especially for something as emotional as Anfield, where memory, identity, and football culture are so deeply tied together. It also shows how sculpture can go beyond symbolism and become a direct connection between place, people, and remembrance.

As you view it, you're drawn to walk round, see each angle & read the words. It's not static, it encourages motion & light reflects in different ways. 2 brothers so full of life deserve such a beautiful infinte loop of love from us. It's perfect Emma 💖

Very talented lady. She did indeed "get it right" ♥️

Incorporating the physical tributes from fans into the design makes it even more meaningful. A fitting way to honour them.

❤️❤️❤️

A truly beautiful explanation. The thought and meaning put into this physical memorial is incredible. Thank you, Emma, for creating such a fitting tribute to keeping their memory alive at Anfield. ❤️

❤️‍🩹

I am crying man.... forever our 20, RIP Jota

Incredible performance

Beautiful to see a permanent memorial being created at Anfield for Diogo Jota and his brother. The sculptor’s approach sounds very thoughtful.

It's a terrific piece of work ❤️

This is very thoughtful of Liverpool to do this in memory of Diego Jota. You will never walk alone Jota. My prayers are with your family right now and always

FOREVER a red

Wow what a phenomenal talent! Amazing tribute this ❤️

Imagine Jọta still lived?! Portugal would be a much more dangerous side

It is absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️💔

Physicality anchors the memory, but how do you ensure the material choices withstand the Anfield climate without losing that intent over the next decade? ⚓

Massive respect, brilliant design, brilliant memorial concept and tribute👏

Rest on champ. 🕯
