Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has died with his brother in a car crash in Spain.

Jota, 28, was in a Lamborghini with Andre, 26, when the car left the road and burst into flames.

It’s believed one of its tyres burst while overtaking another vehicle.

The luxury car ended up in a ditch off the A52 in the North West of the country.

Jota only married his childhood sweetheart, Rute Cardoso, two weeks ago.

The couple have three children.

Striker Jota was due to return to Liverpool FC next week to start training for the coming season.

Anfield have described his death as “devastating”.

Tributes have come from around sportspeople and politicians around the world.

Jota’s national captain Cristiano Ronaldo said:

“It doesn’t make sense”.

Spain’s Guardia Civil said:

“The Guardia Civil is investigating a road accident which occurred at 12:30am this morning at kilometre 65 of the A52, at the municipal area of Cernadilla, Zamora.

“The vehicle came off the road on the left-hand side.

“The investigation points to a road accident due to a tire burst while overtaking.

“As a result of the accident, the car caught fire and both occupants died.

“In the absence of the conclusion of the expert evidence, the identification of one of the deceased is Diogo Jota, a Liverpool FC player, and his brother Andre Felipe.”
