The football community is mourning the tragic loss of Liverpool player Diogo Jota, who died in a car accident in Spain on Thursday. It has been reported that Jota was with his younger brother, André, a 26-year-old footballer, when their vehicle was involved in a deadly crash on the A-52 highway in the Zamora area, located in the Castilla y León region of Spain. Emergency services have verified details of the accident. Authorities stated, “The 1-1-2 Castilla y León operations center received multiple reports of a vehicular accident at kilometer 65 on the A-52, located in the Cernadilla municipality of Zamora.” A report indicated that a car was involved in an accident and was subsequently on fire. BBC Sport reports that the Guardia Civil confirmed that Jota and his brother passed away around 12:30 AM local time on Thursday. Additionally, Onuachu received a warm welcome following his permanent transfer to Trabzonspor. According to reports, their Lamborghini veered off the road after experiencing a tire blowout while trying to overtake another car, subsequently igniting into flames. Jota recently tied the knot with his longtime partner Rute Cardoso, with whom he shares three children, just a month ago. He had shared photos on social media from their wedding ceremony that occurred on June 22. Last season, Jota was instrumental in helping Liverpool secure the Premier League title and played for Portugal in their victory over Spain in the Nations League final held in June.
