What has been said?
Teen sensation Luke Littler revealed he had a little 'headloss' moment at one of the previous events in Germany.
Speaking after the German Darts Grand Prix in April, the Nuke said: "I got booed in Hildesheim last year against Peter Wright on the European Tour.
"I was flying and then they started booing me and I lost. It's something we've all got to deal with. Obviously, the Germans mustn't like us English."
"I had a little headloss moment, as some of us players do.
"I just don't get it, and I can't explain it. Obviously, you do your walk-on, but then as soon as I got on stage, I started getting booed."

Diogo Jota's death is unspeakably tragic
Diogo Jota's death at the age of 28 is unbearably tragic and has prompted an outpouring of grief in the football world and beyond. The Liverpool forward lost his life in the early hours of this morning when his Lamborghini careered off a road in Spain and caught fire. Jota had married his childhood sweetheart, Rute, a few days earlier in their home city of Porto. His brother, Andre Silva, 26, also died in the crash. We don't expect our friends to die. We expect young men in the peak of physical health, like Jota, to do so even less. As Jurgen Klopp, Jota's former manager at Liverpool said: 'This is a moment where I struggle. There must be a bigger purpose. But I can't see it'. Though the cars that footballers drive may be more powerful than the average person's, that doesn't mean these tragedies are any different to young boys in their first old banger suffering the same, terrible fate. Yet it seems different, because to football fans, who consume the lives of players from academy to retirement, sometimes all within the same decade or so, these are rarified humans. They are beyond us, yet known to us intimately. We never meet them, but have them tied into our routines as if they were friends. This is perhaps why, when footballers die in the prime of their lives, it seems particularly hard to comprehend. Jota is not the first footballer to die in a car accident. In 2019, former Arsenal and Real Madrid winger Jose Antonio Reyes lost his life in an accident in Spain. In December last year, West Ham forward Michail Antonio almost died after a crash in Epping Forest. Liverpool, too, has known a number of its young men pass away before their time. Ian Frodsham, in 1995, succumbed to cancer, having been tipped for the very top of the game. Miki Roque, who came through the club's youth system, passed away at the age of 23 in 2012, also of cancer. Besian Idrizaj, a teammate of Roque at the academy, died two years earlier whilst with Swansea City. Those names aren't necessarily in the same bracket of recognition as Jota's, a Premier League and FA Cup winner, not to mention a two-time Nations League champion with Portugal. But they, like he, are a reminder that, from the base of academy football to the very pinnacle of the game, these young men we idolise are just as fragile as we are. Jota's last goal for Liverpool came in April against the club's ancient and bitter local rivals, Everton. It was the winning goal, from a pass from Luis Diaz. A symbolic moment, it turned out, in a symbolic season, as the player who wore the No. 20 shirt played his part in the club's historic 20th league title. Some weeks later, on the final day of the season, Jota's family took to the pitch to hear him serenaded by the Anfield crowd. His song, a fan favourite, echoed around the stadium. The last time he kicked a ball on the turf was not competitively, but in his socks, playing passes to his two young sons, who must now grow up without their father. Footballers, ultimately, are ordinary young men. We often forget that, amid the fame and the success, depression and elation. Jota's sad passing has elicited very ordinary feelings of grief among many people. What is extraordinary is that these ordinary men can elicit such emotions in so very many people. Rest in peace, Diogo.

Chelsea told they were right not to sign 'unconvincing' £64m star
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink believes Chelsea were right to not reignite their interest in Victor Osimhen in this summer's transfer window. Osimhen came close to joining Chelsea last summer but the Premier League side were unable to agree a deal with Napoli for the striker. The Nigerian international enjoyed a superb season on loan at Galatasaray last season, winning the double with the Turkish side, but his future is still up in the air following his return to Naples. Galatasaray remain keen on bringing Osimhen back this year, while the 26-year-old has reportedly turned down lucrative offers to move to Saudi Arabia. Many expected Chelsea to resume their interest in Osimhen, who has a £64m release clause in his contract, but the Blues instead opted to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich Town to bolster their forward options. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. And former Chelsea striker Hasselbaink believes Enzo Maresca's side made the right decision as he backed the inconsistent Nicolas Jackson to hit his stride. Asked whether Chelsea should have signed Osimhen on John Obi Mikel's 'Obi One Podcast', Hasselbaink said: I know he's your countryman but I'm not convinced of Osimhen for the Premier League. 'For Spain, for Italy – yes. For the Premier League? I'm not 100 per cent sure. 'I really like Jackson,' Hasselbaink continued. 'Why? Because he brings a lot of energy to the team and people don't see that. 'The pressing from the front, the work-rate – all that kind of stuff is so important for a successful team. 'Then he gets lots of chances. He needs to get better at finishing, but I'd rather have a striker who gets lots of chances than a striker who doesn't get chances. 'So first of all, he is getting chances, now we can work on his finishing and calmness and make him understand. Should Chelsea have signed Victor Osimhen this summer? Let's not forget before Villareal, he was playing nowhere. So he started at Villareal, and now he's here and he's still very young. So you can still improve him.' Providing competition with Jackson is the aforementioned Delap, but former Chelsea defender Ashley Cole has urged fans to be patient with the 22-year-old, who scored 12 goals for Ipswich in what was his first top-flight campaign last season. More Trending 'I think in this day and age, we're a little bit harsh on the younger players. They need time to grow and they don't need to be judged. I think it will take time for him to develop,' Cole told talkSPORT. ''It will take time for him to adapt to the way Chelsea want to play. Of course everyone wants these young players that go into new environments, new clubs to hit the ground running. But I think we have to be realistic. 'Yes, the price tags also affect people's perception, but again, we have to understand they're still young. 'Hopefully he hits the ground running like many players that move on to the big clubs, but I think we have to sometimes hold back a little bit and understand they are still kids.'

How the best summer of Diogo Jota's life ended in tragedy
With a shimmy, he passes one Everton defender. Another lunges in but is skirted with a touch from his left foot. Then Diogo Jota slams a low shot into the back of the net with his right, before wheeling away to the corner flag in celebration, pointing to the Liverpool badge on his chest and then to the Anfield turf as if to say: this place is mine. In the space of two months after his last goal, the mercurial, beloved Portuguese football player would go on to win the Premier League, UEFA Nations League, and marry his long-time girlfriend, Rute Cardoso, the mother of his three children, in his hometown of Porto. 'Yes to Forever' he wrote on Instagram, underneath a stream of pictures from the ceremony just 11 days ago. "The Reds BURST through on derby night!" 🎙️ Diogo Jota opens the scoring in the Merseyside derby in front of the Kop! 💥 — Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) April 2, 2025 It was, it appeared, the best summer of the 28-year-old's life. But at 12:30am on Wednesday morning, that life was cut devastatingly short in a car crash on the motorway in Zamora, a province in northwestern Spain. In images captured by Spanish media, a blackened twist of shredded metal is all that remains of the Lamborghini in which he was driving alongside his brother, Andre, also a footballer with the Portuguese second division side, Penarel. In a statement to the press, the Spanish Guardia Civil flatly outlined the apparent cause of the crash on the A52, which links northern Portugal to Spain. 'The investigation points to a road accident due to a tyre burst while overtaking. As a result of the accident, the car caught fire and both occupants died,' it said. Officials in high-visibility jackets knelt by the scene of the crash, taking photographs of the unrecognisable vehicle and shards of a grey metal barrier blown through by the force of the accident. On Monday, Jota was due to report back to Liverpool for the return of pre-season training. As the news spread, a shockwave of grief engulfed the sporting world, with fans leaving flowered wreaths up against the brick walls of Anfield, a stadium he had sent into raptures since joining the club in 2020. At the time, his £45 million transfer from Wolves appeared something of a gamble for Jurgen Klopp's side, which had just won the Premier League for the first time in twenty years. But then the mazy dribbles began, the ball pinging between Jota, Sadio Mane and Mohammed Salah, and the goals started to crack in the net, 85 of them in total over 165 appearances. There could be an ecstasy to watching him play: a nimble sharp-shooter who whirred across the pitch in a blur of driving legs and furious effort. 'It doesn't make sense,' Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese captain, wrote in a tribute on social media. 'We were just together in the national team.' In the 49th and final appearance Jota made, he was substituted at the interval in extra-time during Portugal's penalty shoot-out victory over Spain. It was the second trophy he lifted with his country, and added to the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Championship trophies he already had at home. This season, it was hoped he would return to his best form, having overcome a series of rib, hip, and muscle injuries that saw his game time carefully managed. In the stands, he would have been watched by Ms Cardoso, and perhaps some of the high-school sweethearts' three young children, Denis, Duarte, and a daughter born in November last year. In 2022, Ms Cardoso released a proposal video of Jota bending down on one knee under a pine-wreathed canopy in the garden of a holiday villa. When the couple moved to the Midlands in 2017, with Jota joining Wolverhampton Wanderers from Atletico Madrid, she revealed that they had settled in for long binges of Peaky Blinders, the TV crime series set in the region. A player who sometimes looked like he was being controlled by a Playstation, Jota revealed in 2021 that he was equally adept at online sports as the real thing – reaching the number one position worldwide in FIFA's Ultimate Team Championship Leaderboard, during an injury lay-off. Appearing in a podcast with Liverpool's performance psychologist, Lee Richardson, last year, Jota stressed that he tried not to bring the 'stresses' of his career into his family home. 'You want to be the best father you can be,' he said. '[You] try to lead by example… even though sometimes you want to get a bit more rest in the afternoon.' 'I had this yesterday after the game,' he told Mr Richardson. 'I wanted to get a bit of rest. One of my kids wanted to play some football and you need to be on it.' This afternoon, Jota's body lies along with his brother's at the Zamora Forensic Medicine Institute, where post-mortems will soon take place. Eleven days after they were married, posing in front of the gold-and-white altar in a Porto church, Ms Cardoso will have to prepare to attend the funeral of the man she had loved all her life.
