Liverpool star Diogo Jota dies in tragic car accident!

One of the most talented Portuguese footballers, Diogo Jota, died at the age of 28. A serious accident happened in the west of Spain, in the province of Zamora. At the time of the accident, his younger brother, Andre, who also plays professional football, was also in the car.

The Portuguese national team player was killed when the vehicle, for reasons yet to be determined, went off the road. After the takeoff, the car caught fire, and the flames spread to the nearby vegetation. According to witness statements, "the car was completely on fire" and "it was not possible to help because the fire was too strong."

Diogo was accompanied by his brother, two years younger Andre Jota, who plays for the Portuguese Penafiel. The news shocked the sports public around the world.

A recent celebration, then painful silence

What further intensifies the sadness is the fact that the experienced midfielder got married only a few weeks ago. Namely, on June 22 of this year, he married his long-time partner Rute Cardoso.

 The couple has three children.

The great Portuguese signed for Liverpool from Wolverhampton in 2020, in a transfer worth 44.7 million euros. He played 182 times for the Anfield team, scoring 65 goals and adding 26 assists. During his career, he won the Premier League (2024/25), the FA Cup (2021/22) and the League Cup (2021/22), and last month he won the Nations League trophy with the Portuguese national team.

Jota was a key figure for the England team, as well as the Portugal national team. The 28-year-old was one of the best players in the Premier League.

He began his football story in Gondomar, and also played for Porto and Atletico Madrid. He leaves an indelible mark on the field, but also a great void in the hearts of football fans.

There are many sad messages coming from all over the planet, both from his acquaintances and fans. The Portuguese winger left a deep mark in the world of football, and his premature departure is certainly one of the greatest tragedies in the history of football!
