Liverpool forward Diogo Jota 'withdrew from FIFA tournament' before scoring brace against Southampton

The Portuguese forward was taking part in a FIFA 22 international tournament qualifier before he had to leave in time for the real-life game.

Twitter user Lyamooo_ has revealed how Jota told him about this a few hours before the game and wished him luck for future FIFA games.

After scoring the opening goal against Southampton, Jota even did a FIFA-inspired celebration after missing out on his FIFA 22 match.

Jota is actually an extremely talented FIFA player and won ePremierLeague invitational tournament last year.

He has also become the no.1 FIFA player in FIFA Ultimate Team in the past and enjoys playing the virtual game when not playing in real life.
