The soccer world was shocked on Thursday by the tragic news of Liverpool player Diogo Jota’s untimely death at the age of 28, along with his brother Andre, who was also a footballer.
A fatal traffic accident on the A-52 in Zamora province claimed the lives of the two brothers when their car caught fire.
Diogo Jota, a Portuguese international, had just tied the knot with his childhood sweetheart, Rute Cardoso, 11 days before the tragic incident. His last social media post featured photos from their wedding with the caption “Yes, forever.”
The couple shared three children and off the field, Jota was known for his reserved nature and love for video games, often competing in eSports tournaments.
The football community is mourning the loss of a talented player and a loving family man.
