Liverpool and Portugal forward Diogo Jota tragically died in a car crash in Spain’s Zamora province, along with his brother, Andre Silva. The 28-year-old was en route to board a ferry back to England after minor surgery. Jota, who married just 11 days ago, was remembered by Liverpool as “irreplaceable.” Manager Arne Slot called him “the essence of a Liverpool player.” Cristiano Ronaldo and Jurgen Klopp led emotional tributes, with Ronaldo writing, “It doesn’t make sense.” Jota scored 65 goals in 182 appearances for Liverpool and 14 goals in 49 internationals for Portugal. The football world is in mourning. (PC: BBC)
