But while he rests up off the field, on the Playstation he has risen to number one in the FIFA Ultimate Team Champions leaderboard, meaning he is officially the best FIFA player on the planet.
He posted a photo of the game on his Instagram story to prove he had achieved the feat.

Jota netted nine goals in 17 appearances for Jurgen Klopp’s side before being forced to watch his team struggle from the sidelines.
