Diogo Jota, the Liverpool and Portugal forward, has died at the age of 28 alongside his brother Andre Silva, also a footballer, in a car crash in Zamora, Spain. The news has shaken fans and the football community, with tributes left at Anfield and remarks from significant figures like Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo. Angela Rayner expressed the city's collective heartbreak and support for his family, noting the profound loss of a talented player whose career was just beginning.
Floral tributes have been left by fans and by the UK's Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner at Anfield where the club flag is flying at half-mast.
I think the whole world is really devastated and shocked by such a tragic end to someone who is well loved here in Liverpool.
His life and career had only just started. He had done an incredible job here for Liverpool Football Club, and was one of their greatest strikers.
Doesn't make any sense. Just now we were together in the national team, just now you were married.
