Liverpool Mourns Diogo Jota After Fatal Crash

Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva died in a car crash in Spain, reportedly caused by a tyre blowout, just days after Jota's wedding. Their bodies were repatriated to Portugal, with a wake and funeral held in their hometown of Gondomar, attended by teammates, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, manager Arne Slot, and thousands of supporters. Arne Slot publicly expressed the club's deep shock and praised Jota's character and contributions. Liverpool has postponed pre-season training to allow players and staff time to grieve, as tributes have come in from across the football world. Mohamed Salah shared his grief, saying he was 'frightened' to return to the club without Jota. The club is reportedly considering retiring Jota's number 20 shirt in his honor.
