The Portuguese forward, who only got married last month, helped Liverpool win the Premier League last season.
MADRID, July 3 (Reuters) - Liverpool’s Portuguese forward Diogo Jota and his brother 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. The crash occurred around 00:30 a.m.
Jota, 28, had just married his partner of ten years in late June, with whom he had three children.
“It doesn’t make sense. We were only just in the national team together, you’d only just got married,” fellow Portugal international Cristiano Ronaldo said on X.
Liverpool Football Club said it was devastated by the news of Jota’s death.
