Liverpool player Diogo Jota dies 10 days after wedding in car accident.
Diogo Jota, the talented forward from Portugal and Liverpool player, tragically lost his life in a car accident in Spain on July 3. The 28-year-old was driving on the A-52 highway near Palacios de Sanabria in Northwestern Spain when the incident occurred. His brother, also a professional footballer, Andre Filipe, was traveling with him and also sadly passed away in the crash. Reports suggest that their car, a Lamborghini, had a tire blowout while overtaking another vehicle, causing it to veer off the road and catch fire, resulting in the loss of both brothers. The accident happened just ten days after Jota had married his long-time partner, Rute Cardoso. Throughout his career, Jota had played for clubs like Paços de Ferreira, Atlético Madrid, and Wolverhampton Wanderers before joining Liverpool, where he experienced success and won trophies under manager Jürgen Klopp and later Arne Slot. He also represented Portugal in various tournaments, including the UEFA Nations League and Euro 2024. The tragic news has left the football community devastated, with both the Portuguese Football Federation and Liverpool FC expressing their deepest condolences for the loss of two exceptional talents, with Liverpool requesting privacy for the families and loved ones.
