“For No. 20” — A Moment of Magic and Respect
French superstar Kylian Mbappé lit up the pitch with a ridiculous acrobatic finish, leaving fans in awe — but it was what came next that truly touched hearts.
After scoring, Mbappé ran to the sideline and held up a jersey bearing the number 20, in a heartfelt tribute to Diogo Jota, the Portuguese forward who recently passed away.
With hands raised and eyes to the sky, the moment was pure emotion.
🙏 “That one was for you, brother.” — Mbappé’s subtle yet powerful message.
Jota wore No. 20 for both club and country, and Mbappé’s gesture has been widely praised as a class act of sportsmanship and respect across rival lines.
🕊 Football lost a star. Footballers remember.
Rest in peace, Diogo Jota. 💔
