At the end of May, 60,000 Liverpool supporters serenaded Diogo Jota at Anfield as he paraded the Premier League trophy in front of the Kop.
With a big, beaming grin, he soaked up the celebrations as they sang about him powering the club "to victory" with his goals.
A little over a month later and fans across the city and beyond have been left stunned and saddened by his death in a road traffic accident in Spain alongside his brother Andre Silva.
As the news spread, fans began to gather outside Anfield, first laying tributes at the club's Hillsborough disaster memorial before moving to congregate facing a single tree on a stretch of grass next to the Main Stand.
