"The information we have so far is that the car, which was a Lamborghini, was in a road traffic accident and left the road due to a tyre blow out while overtaking.

"It was in the early hours, 00:30 BST, in the municipality of Cernadilla in the province of Zamora.

"The car caught on fire and the two occupants were killed."

When asked to confirm the identities of those involved in the accident, the Guardia Civil said: "The player and his brother, Andre Silva."

Yes, a Real Fast Car.

No wonder it went into flames,



Very Tragic

[rusticgal]

Just tragic in every sense of the word...

[Cherie]

what a savage twist of fate, from a summer of highs for the family to this devastation, so sad

[joeysteele]

An awful tragedy.
Horrific.

…Diogo Jota’s brother, Andre was also a professional footballer playing for a Portuguese team…

FC Penafiel, yes

[Nicky91]

i'm in shock, RIP Diogo and Andre



even more thankful now i still can celebrate his legacy as the footballer he was on FIFA 23, he is also one of my mainly used starting 11 players back when i had a liverpool career mode



he was quite a talented goalscorer, also a very creative player


:bawling: he'll be missed for sure

[Zizu]

I don't know who he is as don't follow football but that horrendous. His poor children


One of the nicest people in football apparently- well loved by everyone

There were rumours of him being allowed to leave ( along with Nunez and Diaz ) as well so we will never know his mindset.. He may have even been in talks with some other clubs and been distracted - who knows ..

I read they were heading to the Port at Santander to catch the Ferry as Jota had a lung op and had been advised not to fly which is even more tragic if that is the case

[thesheriff443]

Ultimately it will be the fact he was driving to fast that caused the blow out that then caused him to lose control

It’s tragic because it was avoidable

[bots]

Sometimes **** happens, this was a super car, all it could take was going over the edge of a kerb or something to weaken the tyre and increase the chances of a blow out

[Ammi]

Liverpool and Portugal football player Diogo Jota, 28, and his brother, Andre Silva, 25, have died in a car crash in the Spanish city of Zamora

The pair were said to be driving to a ferry to return to the UK after Jota couldn't fly due to a lung operation

The tragedy comes just a fortnight after Jota married his long-term partner, Rute Cardoso

Tributes have poured in from Keir Starmer, Kenny Dalglish and teammates Harvey Elliott and Darwin Nunez

A minute's silence will be held at the women's Euros match between Spain and Portugal at 8pm tonight

[Redway]

RIP.

[Dogeatdog]

Devastating news really. I always thought Jota was a great footballer and it’s so tragic that they both have lost their lives and how much this is gonna impact their families.

[Cherie]

I would imagine his brother was with his just to keep him company on the trip, life can be very cruel

Always seems to be the good guys though.:bawling:

[Mystic Mock]

I'm honestly gobsmacked at this news, he was so young too.:(

RIP, and I hope that his family are getting all of the support that they can possibly get.

[Ammi]

Oh no. Absolutely tragic. Really sorry to hear this. RIP young man.

I'm not a fan of football but horrible news

A very young man's life cut short. His brother died too. Horrific

His poor wife and kids, terrible for them.

RIP.

The accident happened on a notoriously dangerous stretch of road .. hundreds of complaints about it over the last 3 months apparently .

Apparently its full of potholes and has been that way for some time, that is pretty unacceptable for a major road

potholes are exactly what could cause a blowout later

Didn't the family want a private ceremony away from the Media?

Nice gesture by LFC

Liverpool to pay out Jota’s contract to family in touching tribute confirmed in Portugal – The Empire of The Kop https://share.google/PIrsmSCPGtkaCfrtE

[bots]

if it was Man U, they would be asking for a refund

[Beso]

Still hoping this is just a dream.

[Mystic Mock]

I hope not.

But I do think that you'd be right unfortunately.

[thesheriff443]

Reports came back saying the car was travelling at significant speed when it crashed

Honestly so avoidable

Given my exploits in a Ford Fiesta XR2i many years ago… I shouldn’t imagine you can go that slow in a Lamborghini ..

Tito Vilanova also wanted that, but hey he too got a ceremony very much in the media, and attended by the entire Barcelona squad back then


this truly does show that Liverpool is a family club, if we didn't already know that enough, same how they also remember the Hillsborough disaster every year

[Cherie]

Two witnesses have come forward claiming the car was travelling at a moderate speed, apparently 8 days earlier a woman had an accident on the same stretch and had to be cut out of her car so the condition of the road may be a factor, I hope they are not covering up to stop a claim against the local authority
