Gakpo spoke about how the team is coping with the loss, saying it's been very difficult. The team came together as soon as possible after the situation happened and tried to be there for the family and each other. They are still trying to do this, reaching out and helping as much as possible behind the scenes.

Liverpool has taken steps to honor Jota's memory, retiring his No 20 shirt and commissioning a sculpture in his honor. The players will also wear a 'Forever 20' emblem on their shirts and stadium jackets throughout the 2025-26 campaign. Gakpo believes this is an important gesture to remember Jota, not just as a player but as a person who was loved by everyone.

Gakpo said it's the least the team can do to remember Jota as the person he was. He was an outstanding player, but he was an even more wonderful person who was good with everyone. The team and Jota's family will miss him for the rest of their lives, and they will not forget him.

The team is still trying to come to terms with the loss, and it will be a difficult season without Jota. However, the team is committed to honoring his memory and remembering him as the person he was.
