Diogo Jota reacts to inheriting Fernando Torres chant at Liverpool.
Diogo Jota considers himself fortunate to have inherited Fernando Torres‘ Liverpool song, which has been tweaked for the Portuguese attacker.
Jota has experienced injury problems during the 2022–23 season, although he has had a strong influence at Anfield since joining from Wolves in 2020, scoring 34 goals in 101 games.
He has won over a devoted following, with Reds supporters changing the lyrics of a song that originally honoured World Cup winner Torres to express their admiration for a current star striker.
Jota has told Off The Pitch of following in Torres’ illustrious footsteps on Merseyside: “For me, I have to say that makes it even more special because I liked him a lot. Then I signed for Atletico Madrid, and my first game was a friendly and I played up front with him, so that was nice. I still have the picture on my phone. And now, having the same song, it’s unpredictable.”

The song in question goes:
“He’s 5ft 10″, he’s Portuguese,
“Jota, Jota.
“He gets the ball, he scores again,
“Jota, Jota.
“He’s f*cking boss, he’s hard to mark,
“He took the p*ss at Goodison Park,
“Diogo Jota, plays for Liverpool.”
Jota is currently away with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo on Euro 2024 qualification duty, but he will be hoping to make a positive contribution at club level when Liverpool return to Premier League action with a trip to Manchester City on April 1.
