On July 3, 2025, Liverpool FC and Portugal forward Diogo Jota, aged 28, tragically died in a fiery car crash near Zamora, Spain, alongside his brother André Silva, 26. The accident, reported by Spanish state-owned TVE and confirmed by local authorities, occurred just days after Jota’s wedding.

The fatal accident occurred shortly after midnight on July 3, 2025, on the A-52 highway in Cernadilla, Zamora. Spanish Guardia Civil reported that the Lamborghini carrying Jota and his brother suffered a tire blowout while overtaking, veered off the road, and burst into flames. Emergency services, including the Zamora Provincial Fire Brigade, confirmed the deaths of two men, aged 28 and 26, at the scene. No other vehicles were involved, and police continue to investigate.

Some very sad news to bring you.

Diogo Jota’s Football Legacy

Jota, who joined Liverpool from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2020 for €44.7 million, scored 65 goals in 182 appearances, helping secure the 2024-25 Premier League, 2021-22 FA Cup, and League Cup titles. For Portugal, he earned 49 caps, contributing 14 goals, and won the UEFA Nations League in 2019 and 2023. His brother André, a professional footballer for Penafiel, also left a mark in Portugal’s second tier. Jota’s recent marriage to Rute Cardoso on June 22 adds to the tragedy, leaving behind three young children.

Liverpool FC expressed devastation, stating, “We request the privacy of Diogo and André’s family, friends, teammates, and club staff is respected.” Portugal’s Prime Minister Luís Montenegro called it “a sad day for football,” while the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) mourned “two champions.” Tributes from Porto FC, Jamie Carragher, and fans on X highlighted Jota’s infectious joy and talent, with UEFA observing a minute’s silence before Portugal’s Women’s Euros match.

Jota’s untimely death, just weeks after his wedding, shocks the global football community, underscoring life’s fragility. His contributions to Liverpool and Portugal, including a Nations League title in June 2025, cement his legacy. The loss of André, a rising talent, compounds the tragedy. This event, trending on X, prompts reflection on road safety and the impact of losing sports icons, resonating with fans worldwide.
