Ireland star's wife in stirring "You'll never walk alone" performance for Jota
Jota and his brother Andre Silva passed away on July 3rd after being involved in a car accident. It has been reported that a tyre blowout on the Lamborghini that they were driving caused the crash, with the car bursting into flames.
On Sunday, Liverpool faced off against Preston in what was meant to be a match that kick-started their preparation for their Premier League title defence. Instead, it was a game that served as a tribute to 28-year-old Jota and his brother.
Before kick-off, Claudia Rose Long Maguire - wife of Ireland international and Cork City star Sean Maguire - performed a spine-tingling rendition of Liverpool's famous anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone.'
Fans of both Liverpool and Preston sang along with Claudia, with Diogo Jota shirts, scarves and posters being brandished by those in the crowd at Deepdale.
As Maguire sang the anthem, Preston captain Ben Whiteman laid a wreath in memory of Jota on the ground in front of the Liverpool away supporters.
On the pitch, Liverpool recorded a comfortable 3-1 win with Cody Gakpo, Conor Bradley and Darwin Nunez netting.
After the game, Liverpool players stayed on the pitch for several minutes as fans sung songs in tribute to Jota.
Taking to social media, Maguire - who knows Preston well as her husband played for the club - thanked both sets of supporters.
"Today was a one for the memory book," She posted on Instagram.
"An absolute honour and privilege to have sang at such a memorable event.
"To sing for the Preston fans who I got to know every weekend for many years watching Sean play and honour them with their anthem, and to sing you'll never walk alone in remembrance of Diogo Jota and André Silva.
"The fans were incredible today and I am so grateful to have been apart of it all. Thank you to @pnefcofficial and @liverpoolfc for having me be apart of this."
