Forward and his brother died in car crash in Spain
Manchester City’s Rúben Dias as well as Liverpool players and staff past and present have arrived in Portugal to pay their respects at Diogo Jota’s funeral following his death in a car crash in Spain.
The Liverpool manager, Arne Slot, the captain, Virgil van Dijk, the defender Andrew Robertson, the midfielder Alexis Mac Allister and former teammates Jordan Henderson and James Milner could be seen in Portugal on Friday evening on footage from local media.
The father of three, who married his long-term partner, Rute Cardoso, 11 days before the accident, was killed alongside his brother André Silva after a Lamborghini they were travelling in burst into flames following a suspected tyre blowout in the early hours of Thursday morning.
The funeral will begin at 10am on Saturday, according to the parish priest at the Igreja Matriz de Gondomar in São Cosme, José Manuel Macedo. It comes after family and friends gathered for the brothers’ wake on Friday, with a queue forming outside the Portuguese chapel.
The brothers’ parents attended the São Cosme chapel, the Capela da Ressurreição, in the town of Gondomar near Porto on Friday, with the Portuguese president, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, the prime minister, Luís Montenegro, and Jota’s agent also among those in attendance.
Jota and Silva were both found dead after the car crashed on the A-52 in Palacios de Sanabria near the city of Zamora at 12.40am on Thursday. Police said they were investigating the possibility that the Lamborghini left the road because of a tyre blowout while overtaking, and a source from the government sub-delegation in Zamora confirmed “a possible speeding incident” was being looked at.
Pictures of the aftermath of the crash showed debris scattered along the side of the road including what appeared to be charred parts of the vehicle. No other vehicles are said to have been involved in the incident.
