Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva were tragically killed in a car crash in Zamora, Spain. The crash occurred shortly after midnight. Jota, a prominent player for Liverpool and Portugal, had recently lifted the Premier League title. He was remembered fondly by teammates including Darwin Nunez and Bruno Fernandes, who expressed deep sorrow and condolences through social media. Jota was also celebrated for his international achievements, including winning the Nations League title. The tragic events prompted reflections on the fragility of life and the importance of remembrance.
"There are no words of comfort for so much pain," Nunez posted on Instagram. "I will always remember you with your smile, as a good companion on and off the field. I send all my strength to his family. From where he is, I'm sure he will always be with you, especially his wife and three children."
"Friend, colleague and companion of a thousand battles. It's hard to understand how someone can leave so soon," Fernandes said via his Instagram story. "May you and your brother find the peace you need to watch over your loved ones who lost you too soon and suddenly. My condolences to all your family."
"They say we only lose people when we forget them. I will never forget you!" said Ruben Neves, who played alongside Jota at Wolves and for the national team.
Football is "not important" after news like this, said former Liverpool player and manager Kenny Dalglish. "You feel helpless, knowing there's so little we can do to ease the pain for his wife."
