Oasis dedicates iconic song to Diogo Jota during first reunion concert
The Gallaghers — arguably the most well-known Manchester City supporters — performed "Live Forever" while displaying images of Jota in his Liverpool kit on the video boards. The 28-year-old soccer star was laid to rest on Saturday morning in Portugal after was killed along with his brother André Silva in a devastating car crash earlier this week.
The show's opening band, who hail from Liverpool, paid tribute to Jota as well, dedicating their performance of "Walkaway" to the forward.
What a beautiful way to celebrate an athlete gone way too soon.

What do the cheapest tickets cost to see Oasis on tour in 2025?
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. The family reunion we've all been waiting for is finally here. On Friday, July 4, Oasis played together for the first time in nearly 16 years. Their gig, which took plate Cardiff's Principality Stadium, was the first of their international 'Live '25 Tour' and seemingly went off without a hitch. According to Set List FM, Liam and Noel Gallagher performed 23 songs including all-timer fan favorites 'Wonderwall,' 'Champagne Supernova,' 'Don't Look Back in Anger,' 'Morning Glory' and 'Live Forever' among others. Some tracks that made the cut hadn't been played in nearly 30 years; 'Whatever' returned with Liam on vocals for the first time since 1996. Now that's a throwback. 'It was a living, breathing, rumbling thing,' The New York Times wrote in a review of the raucous Wales evening. '…capturing the swell of a nation that met its cultural moment, sometimes with cheers, sometimes with fists.' Come late August, the beloved '90s icons will beam their way across the pond to perform at stadiums all over North America. That includes a pair of gigs at East Rutherford, NJ's MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Aug. 31 and Monday, Sept. 1 with special guest Cage The Elephant. If you'd like to see them live — who knows if we have to wait another 30 years until their next tour — tickets are available for all upcoming overseas and North American Oasis concerts. At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find for any one North American concert was $195 including fees on Vivid Seats. British shows, which feature special guests Richard Ashcroft and Cast, start at $475 including fees.

How the gamer celebration became the world's way to honour Diogo Jota
How the gamer celebration became the world's way to honour Diogo Jota The gamer celebration has become synonymous with Jota Diogo Goncalves, who played alongside Jota for Portugal under-21s, also pulled out the celebration having scored for Real Salt Lake against St Louis City in MLS. Advertisement Also in MLS, Hany Mukhtar scored a 101st-minute penalty for Nashville against Philadelphia before ordering his entire cast of teammates to sit down and follow his celebration lead. Jota's ex-Wolves teammate Raul Jimenez did it on an even bigger stage - while winning the CONCACAF Gold Cup final against the United States. The Mexico frontman even entered the field with DIOGO J 20 on his shirt before paying tribute to his friend with the gamer salute. Kylian Mbappe also honoured Jota after his Club World Cup goal against Borussia Dortmund by holding up his fingers in a 2-0 arrangement, but it is the gamer celebration that has now become synonymous with the Liverpool No20. A celebration is born Jota, a renowned FIFA and EA FC player, first performed the celebration back in November 2021. He infamously had to cut short his participation in a FIFA 22 tournament that day in order to make it in time to a Liverpool game. Advertisement His opponent screenshotted and shared Jota's cheery 'got to go' message before it went viral. Jota scored twice IRL - in a Premier League game against Southampton. After his first goal he sat on the turf and pretended to play on a Playstation controller. He told The Gamer of his relief at scoring that day: 'That was more pressure than I needed for that moment.' Bradley remembers Jota The celebration has been subsequently included in the game in his honour - one of a catalogue of FIFA-themed celebrations in Jota's repertoire - which also included the active player triangle symbol. An avid gamer from childhood - favouring football and football manager sims - Jota always had his Playstation with him on away trips. Liverpool colleague Conor Bradley opened up over the weekend how Jota once lured him into a heavy beating on FIFA. Advertisement 'Always remember the first time you invited me to your room to play FIFA I think everyone knows where this is going, we was playing and by half time I'm pretty sure I was 5-0 down that was the last time I was ever falling into that trap,' the Northern Irishman said. Diogo Jota was a legendary FIFA player His FIFA / EA FC exploits were the stuff of legend among fans of football and gaming. He beat all-comers back in April 2020 - during the Coronavirus lockdown - to win a Premier League players' FIFA invitational. His Wolves team beat Trent Alexander-Arnold's Liverpool in the final. And Jota was the top-ranked FIFA Ultimate Team Champions player in the world for a spell back in February 2021. That weekend he boasted a perfect 30-0 record. Advertisement He even qualified for the FIFA Global Series back in 2022 - only losing to 2017 world champion Gorilla. 'This year I was the only player that was playing in the Champion's League and the eChampion's League,' he revealed a couple of years ago in the interview with The Gamer. Gaming always a 'passion' for Diogo Jota Jota revealed his passions in an interview with the Athletic but in truth anyone with a passing interest in gaming - or football - would have been well aware of Jota's other big love away from the pitch. 'Since my dad gave me my first PlayStation as a kid, it's been like another passion of mine. I always played football on it,' he said. Advertisement He founded his own eSports company - Diogo Jota eSports - before partnering with Galaxy Racer and renaming it Luna Galaxy (after his beloved pet dog).
