Liverpool star Diogo Jota dies in car crash
Liverpool star Diogo Jota has died in a car crash alongside his brother just days after he got married. The 28-year-old Portuguese winger was involved in the accident in Zamora, Spain, alongside his brother Andre Silva, 26, who played for second-tier club Penafiel. The dad-of-three star was in a Lamborghini with his brother when the vehicle went off the road and caught fire. Police said they believe one of the supercar's tyres burst. The Portuguese national football team have said they are 'devastated' by the Jota's death. They added that he 'was not only a fantastic player with almost 50 caps for the national team, but also an extraordinary person who was respected by all his teammates and opponents'. Jota had got married just 10 days ago to his longterm partner Rute Cardoso and the couple have three children, Dinis, Durate, and a daughter who was born in 2024 They had shared pictures of them in front of the altar with their kids before the tragedy. In the caption, they said: 'June 22, 2025. Yes to forever.' The Instagram post received over 190,000 likes and over 1,000 comments. And it included love heart emojis from fellow Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez and Natalia Becker, wife of goalkeeper Alisson. Tributes have been flooding in for the star, with ex-player and pundit Gary Neville saying: 'That is heartbreaking news on Diogo Jota and his brother. 'All my love and best wishes to his family.' TV presenter Piers Morgan wrote: 'He only got married two weeks ago. Heartbreaking.' FC Porto also paid tribute, saying: 'Futebol Clube do Porto is in mourning. 'It is with shock and deep regret that we send our most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, who was also our youth player. May they rest in peace.' The Portuguese forward started his career in his birthplace of Porto, playing for Paços de Ferreira. He made his first Primeira Liga appearance in 2015 and a year later moved to Spanish giants Atletico Madrid. But the diminutive striker never made an appearance in La Liga and spent a year on loan at FC Porto where he scored eight goals. This caught the eye of then-Championship side Wolves who loaned the 20-year-old before making the move permanent for a reported £12 million. His 17 goals helped propel Wolves to the Premier League where he continued to impress at the highest level, scoring 16 goals over the following two seasons. In 2020, Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool bolstered their already strong striking options with Jota in a reported £45 million deal. In five seasons at the club, he has scored 47 Premier League goals and helped Liverpool win the Premier League, FA Cup and two Carabao Cups. Jota has also been a mainstay in Portugal's national team for the past five years, scoring 14 goals in 49 appearances for his country. Earlier this summer, he won the UEFA Nations League, coming on as a substitute in the final against Spain. In a statement, Spain's civil guard said: 'The Civil Guard is investigating a road accident that occurred at 12.30 this morning at kilometre 65 of the A52 motorway, in the municipality of Cernadilla, Zamora. 'A vehicle left the road on the left side. 'The investigation points to a road accident due to a tire burst while overtaking. 'As a result of the accident, the car caught fire and both occupants died. 'Pending the completion of forensic tests, one of the deceased has been identified as Diogo Jota, a Liverpool FC player, and his brother Andre Felipe.'

Liverpool's Portuguese forward Diogo Jota dies in car crash in Spain
Liverpool's Portuguese forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva died in a car crash in northwestern Spain early on Thursday, when their Lamborghini veered off the road and burst into flames, authorities said. Evidence at the scene of the crash near the city of Zamora suggests Jota's car suffered a burst tyre while overtaking, Spanish police said in a statement. Jota, 28, had in late June just married his partner of ten years, with whom he had three children. The regional fire department of Castile and Leon, where Zamora is located, also confirmed on its website that a car crashed early on Thursday and burst into flames, with two men, aged 28 and 26, found dead. "We have lost two champions. Their deaths represent irreparable losses for Portuguese football, and we will do everything we can to honour their legacy every day," the Portuguese Football Federation said of Jota and Silva, who played for Penafiel in the Portuguese second division. Police said their bodies have been taken to a forensics unit in Zamora where autopsies will be performed. "The news of the death of Diogo Jota, an athlete who greatly honoured the name of Portugal, and his brother, is unexpected and tragic," Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro said on X. "I offer my most sincere condolences to his family." Jota helped Liverpool win the Premier League last season and also won the FA Cup and League Cup with the Merseyside outfit. Born in Porto, he began his career with local team Pacos de Ferreira before switching to Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2017. Jota arrived at Anfield in 2020 and scored 65 goals in 182 appearances for the club in all competitions. "Liverpool Football Club are devastated by the tragic passing of Diogo Jota," the club said on X. He also made 49 appearances for Portugal, twice winning the UEFA Nations League. "It is a remarkable achievement for a small guy that came from Gondomar, where I had this dream," Jota said on Liverpool's website of winning the Premier League. "It's a moment I will cherish forever."
