Килиан Мбаппе забил победный гол ударом через себя.

«Реал» победил «Боруссию» Дортмунд в 1/4 финала клубного ЧМ со счетом 3:2.

Shared Success at Wolves

There are moments in football when the game itself becomes secondary. When the statistics, the goals, the league tables—all pale next to the human stories behind them. Conor Coady’s tribute to Diogo Jota is one of those moments.

Coady and Jota forged a connection at Wolverhampton Wanderers that transcended the usual dynamics of a football dressing room. Together, they rose through the ranks—Championship to Premier League, Premier League to Europe. But as Coady tells it, the true story wasn’t written in goals or appearances, but in the character of the man he shared those moments with.

“He was the heart and soul of the dressing room,” Coady said. “He had a quiet way of going about himself. But you knew you could go to him about anything.”

Jota’s Character Left a Lasting Mark

Jota’s recent passing in a tragic car crash sent shockwaves across the football world. Yet for those who knew him—truly knew him—the grief goes beyond headlines. Coady’s words, delivered via BBC Sport, were raw, unscripted, and full of admiration.

“This has hit everybody hard,” he said. “And it will hit everybody hard for a long, long time because Diogo was a fantastic human being, an amazing friend, an amazing husband, an amazing father and an absolute incredible footballer for all the clubs he has played for.”

It wasn’t just what Jota did on the pitch—it was how he carried himself. “He was an unbelievable person,” Coady reflected. “A dream to work with. But it was a pleasure to call him a friend.”

From Wolves to Liverpool: Pride and Pain

Jota’s move to Liverpool was a moment of pride for Coady. Seeing a teammate thrive on the biggest stage affirmed everything he already believed about the Portuguese forward.

“He took the Premier League by storm,” Coady said, recalling the goals, the hat tricks, and the unforgettable nights in the Europa League. “For me as a captain, it was an honour and a dream to play with him.”

Jota’s legacy isn’t just etched in highlight reels. It’s carried in memories—in the way he “bought into the culture” at Wolves, bringing his childhood sweetheart to Wolverhampton and fully embracing a club still rebuilding its identity.

An Enduring Example for Future Generations

Coady made it clear that Jota’s influence went beyond the touchline. He became a reference point—a blueprint—for how to approach the game with humility, bravery, and love.

“I used to always tell young people they need to learn from players like Diogo and Ruben, who were brave enough to step into the Championship to help a club who were struggling at that time,” Coady said. “He was such an example for everybody. I absolutely loved him.”

There are players who leave an impression. And then there are players like Jota—whose absence feels as profound as his presence once did.
