Liverpool forward, Diogo Jota, has died in a car accident in Spain.
According to the Daily Mail, the 28-year-old was travelling in the vehicle with his brother, Andre.
It is reported that the car went off the road on the A-52 in the province of Zamora.
Jota’s tragic passing comes only two weeks after he got married to his long-term girlfriend, Rute Cardoso, in Porto.
The forward was part of the Liverpool squad that won the Premier League title in May during Arne Slot’s first season.
Police have confirmed they are investigating the cause of the incident. According to them, there were no other vehicles involved.
Jota made 182 appearances for Liverpool since joining from Wolves in 2020.
He lifted the Premier League title in May, having previously won the FA Cup and two Carabao Cups in his five years at the club.
Jota also won 49 international caps for Portugal, during which he won the UEFA Nations League in 2019 and again last month, scoring 14 goals.
