Diogo Jota has been killed in a car crash, according to reports from Spanish media.
The Liverpool forward’s brother Andre Silva also died in the accident, which took place in Zamora.
The accident happened at around 12.40am local time on Thursday morning, when a car left the road and caught fire on the road heading towards Benavente, according to El Mundo.
A statement from the Guardia Civil reads: “The information we have so far is that the car, which was a Lamborghini, was in a road traffic accident and left the road due to a tyre blowout while overtaking.
“It was in the early hours, 00:30 BST, in the municipality of Cernadilla in the province of Zamora.
“The car caught on fire and the two occupants were killed.”
It comes just 10 days after Jota had got married to his wife, Rute Cardoso, on 22 June 2025.
In a post shared on the couple’s social media, the pair wrote: “Yes, forever.”
Such terrible news and our thoughts are with his family at this time.
