A stunning new mural has appeared on the streets of Liverpool paying heartfelt tribute to defender Andy Robertson and his late teammate Diogo Jota.
The large artwork on a brick wall features a prominent portrait of Andy Robertson in his red Liverpool kit on the left.
Murals have been part of the fabric that surrounds Anfield, telling stories of incredible figures who have shaped Liverpool on and off the field.
One of the modern-day legends in the Reds team is Andy Robertson. The Scotsman will leave Merseyside in the summer when his contract expires, though he is an adored figure by the supporters due to his immense work rate and world-class ability.
Since arriving in 2017 from Hull City, he became a key figure under former boss Jurgen Klopp, becoming one of the most consistent performers of the modern era, and redefining what it takes to be a Premier League fullback.
Outside the famous old stadium, the 32-year-old has now been immortalised with the newest mural that celebrates his achievements, alongside his relationship with former star Diogo Jota who sadly passed away during the summer in a car crash in Spain in July 2025 alongside his brother André Silva.
The mural positioned moments away from Anfield captures the pair embracing in a hug.
Alongside the artwork, there is a message which was once uttered by Robertson as he said, “I nicknamed him Diogo MacJota. We often joked he was Irish. So genuine, just normal and real.”
The pair enjoyed several years at the club and built a strong bond and friendship within the dressing room.
Jota wasn’t just a goal machine; he was a hugely respected member of the dressing room, making this tribute even more meaningful.
Speaking to BBC Sport earlier in the season, the fullback admitted that following the tragic passing of his teammate was an extremely tough moment for him, one he feels he will stay with him forever.
He said, “I don’t think anyone could care less about football when things like that happen.
“It puts life into perspective as to what’s important – spending time with your family, spending time with your kids, because you never know what’s around the corner.”
The Scottish international’s place in the squad was under threat last summer following the signing of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth. Robertson claimed that he chose to stay at Anfield as he had to help others overcome the loss of one of their teammates.
“It didn’t influence my decision. The decision was already made before the tragedy, but I knew in that moment that the club needed me.
“I know the leaders in that dressing room have got a big job to do in terms of trying to help everyone as a club and even Diogo’s family through this massively difficult moment. It won’t get easier, but maybe we can numb the pain a little bit as time goes on.”
Robertson has done a stellar job as a leader in the team after one of the most difficult events to overcome in the Liverpool’s history.
The mural signifies a lot more than football, and what the players that represent the club mean to Kopites. It’s a reminder of friendship, leadership and camaraderie.
Robertson has the chance of featuring two more times at Anfield before the season is out, but he will be remembered forever by the supporters for not just being one of the best defenders the club has ever seen, but as a leader who embodied what the club stands for.
Murals around the ground showcase culture
Over the past decade, several murals have been displayed around the ground for players, managers and fans that are embedded into the DNA of Liverpool.
Last summer, a new Virgil Van Dijk artwork was delivered on Anfield Road, outside Hotel Anfield, which celebrated the Premier League title-winning campaign.
Either side of that, there is a painting dedicated to Bill Shankly and Robbie Fowler. Two heroes for every supporter, and their legacies are still told on the terraces.
Just a bit away from the stadium, artwork was delivered to Anne Williams, a mother of one of the Hillsborough victims, who lived her life fighting for justice.
There are stories on every street, and the newest mural is no different. It captures not just two players, but what they represent and why Robertson’s legacy will be remembered way beyond his time as a Liverpool player.
