Liverpool player Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva were unfortunately killed in a car accident in Spain at the age of 28.
Jota is not only a world-class football player, but also a very kind, smart and humorous person, deeply loved by his teammates.
He left behind his young wife Rut and three adorable children, which was heartbreaking. Jota has been a member of Liverpool since 2020, and his death is heartbreaking. 💔
