Despite never playing together, Dembele still paid tribute to the Liverpool star who passed away in a tragic accident in Zamora on July 3. After scoring in injury time in the early morning of July 6, the French striker sat down on the pitch and made a hand gesture simulating a game - a familiar celebration that Jota often used after each goal.
The moment quickly went viral on social media, and was considered one of the most touching images of the quarter-finals. According to the revelation, before the match, Dembele had discussed with his Portuguese teammates at PSG including Nuno Mendes, João Neves, Vitinha and Gonçalo Ramos - who had worked with Jota in the national team - to perform this special tribute.
Not only a victory on the field, Dembele's actions are also a reminder that football always goes beyond the boundaries of shirt colors, when humanity and respect for colleagues are always put first.
