Humble, generous and a star - Jota left his mark on everyone he met
Published: 8/10/2025

Teresa Barbosa, a caretaker at Pacos de Ferreira's dormitory, played a significant role in nurturing Diogo Jota during his early days with the team. Jota, now a former Liverpool player, lived in the dormitory for three years, choosing to stay even when offered an apartment, as he considered Barbosa family. Despite his tragic passing in a car accident, Jota's humble beginnings and gratitude towards those who supported him continue to be remembered and cherished, as exemplified by his gesture of inviting Barbosa to his wedding.
