Liverpool’s Diogo Jota and His Brother Dies in Heartbreaking Car Accident
Liverpool forward Diogo Jota, 28 years old, has tragically passed away alongside his younger brother André Silva, following a terrible car accident in Spain. The crash happened early this morning, July 3rd, on the A-52 highway, near Cernadilla, in Zamora province, Spain.
Reports say Diogo and André were travelling in a Lamborghini when the car’s tyre burst, causing them to lose control while overtaking another vehicle. Their car crashed into a barrier and immediately caught fire. Despite efforts by emergency responders, both brothers lost their lives at the scene.
This tragedy comes just 11 days after Diogo’s wedding to his longtime partner, Rute Cardoso, who is now left heartbroken with their three young children.
Football fans, teammates, and even world leaders have been sending messages of love and shock following the tragic news. Liverpool FC, where Diogo became a fan favourite, described the loss as “unbearable” and sent their support to both families.
Club manager Jurgen Klopp, visibly shaken, said, “Diogo wasn’t just a brilliant footballer, he was a wonderful father, a loving husband, and a true friend to many.”
Cristiano Ronaldo, Diogo’s Portugal teammate, shared his heartbreak online, writing: “It’s hard to accept this… just days ago we celebrated your wedding. Life can be so unfair.”
Portugal’s Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, also expressed his sorrow, calling their deaths “an enormous loss” for the country. Meanwhile, football clubs around Europe, including Manchester United, Chelsea, Wolves, and Atlético Madrid, all sent their condolences.
UEFA has announced there will be a minute of silence before the next Women’s Euro games to honour both Diogo and André.
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
