Diogo Jota has named his best XI of all time from the players he has played with.

Jota has shared the field with a host of stars from both Liverpool and Portugal.

Looking ahead to Euro 2024, Jota faced the difficult task of choosing his best teammates.

The 27-year-old ended up selecting five current Liverpool players as well as himself.

However, there was one major omission as a key former Liverpool star was left out.

Liverpool star Diogo Jota has named his best XI of players he has played with of all time.

Jota chose Alisson in goal, with four other Liverpool players making the cut: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgin van Dijk, Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah.

There are also five Portuguese players in the team: Ruben Dias, Joao Cancelo, Ruben Neves, Bernardo Silva and, unsurprisingly, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Perhaps Jota’s most controversial selection is that he has been included in the squad ahead of former Liverpool winger Sadio Mane.

Mane is now at Al-Nassr after a spell at Bayern Munich, but he was Jota’s teammate at Anfield between 2020 and 2022.

Another key omission is that of Portugal and Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes.

Since signing for Liverpool in 2020, Jota has made 145 appearances for the club and scored 56 goals.
