But it's become increasingly clear that few were as loved and respected as Jota. He appears to have been about as humble and down to earth as an elite footballer possibly can be.

That, of course, makes this all look even more senseless. It's a genuine tragedy and one that will take even those with as small as a link as supporting his football team years to process.

We may never really process it, in truth. It's all still so surreal and unbearably sad.

Those playing at the moment, though, are looking to celebrate and pay tribute to Jota as best they can. We've seen it at the Club World Cup and now in MLS, too.

Nashville SC pay Diogo Jota tribute

Nashville SC played out a dramatic win on Saturday. Down to 10 men against Philadelphia, they won a 101st-minute penalty.

Up stepped Hany Mukhtar to convert and win the match. Even with all that emotion, though, Mukhtar composed himself after scoring to tell every teammate to drop to the ground and do Jota's video game celebration.

That's become the trademark of Jota and something that certainly non-Liverpool fans remember him for. The most recognisable way to show some love to the man.

Ousmane Dembélé did similar after scoring for Paris Saint-Germain at the FIFA Club World Cup and we imagine it's one that will be done a lot more over the next season. And with good reason - it's very Jota.

This was all wonderful to see, though. We'll continue to point out the tributes to Jota made across football because seeing him recognised over the world is honestly the only nice thing to come out of all of this.
