The world of football, sport and beyond is in mourning after the tragic death of Liverpool Vooruit Diogo Jota and brother André Silva, also a football player for the Portuguese second -class team Penafiel.
The devastating circumstances around Jota's already tragic death
Only a few days after his marriage to long-term girlfriend Rute Cardoso, with whom he shares three children, Jota and Silva died in northern Spain when the Lamborghini traveled in flames after blew out.
The brothers and sisters were on their way to the North Spanish city of Santander, where Jota should have catched a ferry to England. He was advised not to fly after a pulmonary surgery shortly before his wedding.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and LeBron are awarded
Tribute to the couple has arrived from all over the world, including Van Cristiano Ronaldo, the international teammate of Jota with Portugal, former Reds manager Jürgen Klopp, Lionel Messi and even LeBron James, a co -owner of Liverpool since 2011.
But few have been the case of Andy Robertson, who placed a beautiful tribute to a man who was clearly so much more than just a teammate at Anfield.
The captain of Scotland and the Portuguese attacker enjoyed enormous success in their five years together with the Reds, but, as you would expect, it was their close off-field relationship that was the subject of Robertson's Instagram post, in which his followers wandered the tears.
