In this issue

On the morning of July 3,kèo chau á I typed the words “Diogo Jota” into the search bar of our image provider. The most recent results showed the 28-year-old celebrating the Nations League triumph with his Portugal team-mates. With a bit more scrolling, he was parading the Premier League trophy through the streets of Liverpool. Filtering the search to “entertainment” showed him getting married to Rute Cardoso, the mother of his three children. Just 11 days after the wedding, he was killed in a car crash with his brother Andre Silva; a stark reminder that life can be short and cruel, and that football is secondary. This issue is dedicated to Diogo Jose Teixeira da Silva.
