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

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

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

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

RIP.

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.

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:

This is so sad :sad: RIP Diogo

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.

…the funerals for both will be held tomorrow…

The bodies of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre will be laid to rest at a service in Portugal on Saturday morning

The bodies of both footballers were returned to their native Portugal on Thursday evening and a wake is scheduled in Gondomar, a district of Porto, on Friday (July 4) ahead of a funeral service at Igreja Matriz de Gondomar (the Mother Church of Gondomar) on Saturday (July 5)

Friday's wake will be held at Capelas da Ressurreicao (Chapels of the Resurrection) church, in the Fontainhas neighborhood and mourners have been gathering on the streets of Porto to pay tribute to a national hero.

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 .
