The football world is in deep mourning following the sudden death of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away at the age of 28 after being involved in a fatal car accident in Spain.
The incident, which occurred in the early hours of Tuesday morning, also claimed the life of his younger brother, André Jota.
Spanish authorities confirmed that the vehicle the brothers were travelling in veered off the road and collided with a roadside barrier on a highway near Marbella.
Emergency services arrived quickly but were unable to save either of them.
Just two weeks before the crash, Jota had celebrated his wedding to his longtime partner, which was attended by close family, friends, and several Liverpool teammates.
Jota, who joined Liverpool in 2020 from Wolverhampton Wanderers, quickly became a fan favourite with his work ethic, sharp instincts in front of goal, and ability to shine in big moments.
He played a crucial role in Liverpool’s recent domestic and European campaigns, scoring vital goals and showing immense versatility in attack.
