born as normal
died as a legend
As a Liverpool fan, we’ve won our 20 but we lost our 20. RIP Diogo Jota. YNWA.
omg... poignant
His number need s retired out of respect for him
Wouldn’t surprise me if he acting like one of these ignorant entitled fools who commit speeding offences with their flash cars. These people are not only a danger to themselves but also to other people, idiots. He and his family only have themselves to blame for such selfish behaviour
Absolutely. RIP DJ20.
@@AZBCDEhave a day off. RIP
This legend has been saving both my favorite club and my Stake parlays for what feels like an eternity already 😥 Two months ago, he was celebrating the Premier League title with Liverpool. A month ago, he lifted the Nations League trophy with Portugal. Two weeks ago, it was his wedding and now he is no more 😓 rest in peace Diogo Jota, you’ll never walk alone ❤️
This is so shocking, I still cant believe its real. He got married recently and was over the moon enjoying this new stage of his life with his wife and their kids. As a Mexican who loved watching Jiménez play at Wolverhampton, you two together were a great duo to witness. Rest in peace, Jota
I no sooo said. U no love each other u don't no what's around corner people who have died in car crashes. Gets my heart because I was lucky to survive a car crash so touching this my heart goes out to all his family the Liverpool supporters and Portugal and wolves legend great man great player just got married. So sad rip my love for u family and supporters ❤❤❤❤

It's supposedly FAKE NEWS
I am so shocked to hear this,so sorry,from a Glasgow Rangers fan 😭he will never walk alone RIP JO 🏴🇬🇧
He had three kids too.....
The Jota's Brother's is gone
I am Manchester United and I can’t believe this happened rip never walk alone is going to amazing at Anfield for tribute to Jota
Chelsea fan here, this is devastating news! Jota was a great player and a great entertainer. Played football with the highest standards. R.I.P.
You don't have to mention the club you support when wishing your condolences
Thanks bud.
@@danielobere5595
Don’t disrespect Jota’s memory. Accept the condolences in the manner in which they were given. We’re all devastated, heartbroken.
All football supporters are grieving.
RIP, Diogo and André.
💔YNWA💔
@danielobere5595 it's such a weird thing people do..
As another CFC fan, I concur. Jota was an amazing player. He will be missed by more than the club and the fans. I stand with all the other Chelsea supporters when I say this is a sad day for football. RIP.
As a Liverpool Fan am Speechless. I can't belive it
Bro it doesn't matter if your a liverpool fan
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔#20
I felt the same when Reyes died in a Car Crash (granted he wasn't playing for us anymore, but it was still painful). RIP Jota brothers.
It's gutting isn't it. It feels like a friend has died... 😟
Sad day indeed for Liverpool Football Club team organization (Recent champions of the English Premier League season) and the Portuguese National men football team (Portugal). Portugal National football men team just won the UEFA Nations League tournament last month in June against Spain. It is unfortunately he and his younger brother died in Spain (the same country Portugal defeated last month). We shall see how the Portuguese National men football team performs in next year's 2026 FIFA World Cup tournament to be held in Mexico, United States, and Canada. May his soul and along with his younger brother named Andre that died in a Car accident there in Spain, rest in peace. Peace...
I am from South Africa and 70 years old. I am devastated on hearing this tragic news. I am in tears because whenever he was playing for Liverpool, we knew he would do something outstanding, what a loss to Liverpool but more importantly to his family. May you rest in Peace. For me you are a Liverpool Legend.
Are you Indian sir?
So glad you said this for me because I am at a loss for words. Well put sir.
As a MU fans, I still watch matches from another club..
From what I saw, Diogo Jota, one of the best player that Liverpool ever had.
Rest in peace.
You'll be missed.
You'll Never Walk Alone, Diogo Jota.
This feels like a nightmare. Heartbreaking for his family, Liverpool, and the Portuguese national team.
it feels like a bad dream, my heart and prays goes out to his family and friends
@TyMarshall007 why cant ur prayer raise him back!?
@@blackhokage1744sadly bro its just how life is.
Whattttt.... He almost carried Liverpool in difficult situations when they needed most... He is like a super sub...If in a game only 10 minutes remaining & Liverpool was on a draw, almost everyone know if someone wins them the game, it should be him....😢JOTA (WE will miss you buddy, ❤ from a CITY FAN)... I'm still in awe....😢😢😢😢RIP BROTHER 😞😭
Да он был джокером и отличным финишером просто у него были травмы а так он игрок высокого класса
I am an Everton fan and I dislike Liverpool with a passion so this news doesn't bother me. Hopefully the tools are quiet for a while now.
@@aaa-ky5ds If you have nothing positive or respectful to say, maybe it's better not to say anything at all
@@aaa-ky5ds Show some respect to the Legend
@@aaa-ky5ds brother, that is such a wild statement. like in all serious a human being just passed away tragically leaving behind his 3 kids and wife and THIS is what you decided to say?
Man C fan here. Diogo Jota was a successful player and a beautiful character. His goal against Tottenham will never be forgotten. Not just as a person who watches the premier league , but also as a Big fan of Football, Rest in peace. You're a legend now.
does it matter what team you support mate? a life is a life.
no fans here, just people.
@@aup4678His point is obviously he doesn’t support Liverpool but respected Jota. It seems you’re making an issue out of nothing.

R.I.P Jota and Andre. As a Liverpool fan this is so sad.
I'm an Atlético fan, I always admired his hardworking and humble attitude, he always gave his best for the teams he played. Always found shameless that my team never gave him the opportunity. I'm devastated.
You'll never walk alone Diogo ❤🕊
I’m broken by this news. Words cannot comprehend how we Liverpool fans are feeling. May him & his brother rest in peace. May God bless & protect his wife & 3 kids.
Unfortunately he was speeding... It's his own fault...and it's a tragedy.

As a wolves fan he was a massive part of our promotion team in 2018. Absolute gentleman on and off the field❤❤
I still can't believe you won't play for Liverpool again. I feel so sorry for your family ❤❤❤.
One of the most underrated player. Rest in peace

@@davidstout4826because selfish people who speed and drive dangerously are people who cause injury deaths, I have no sympathy at all for people who act in this way
Such an incredible guy Diogo. Not only loved by his family, friends and liverpool family. He was also a huge character in the esports scene, and very relatable, compared to most players. One of us. Rip Diogo and André. Im in tears thinking about the pain Diogo's lovely wife and children are left with :(
City Fan here he was such a great striker. Diogo Jota rip you will be missed such devastating news 💔💔💔 also rip to his brother André
What a nightmare for parents losing 2 kids in one accident. RIP
Leicester fan came to pay tribute to Diogo Jota a fantastic person and brilliant player and as well his younger brother Andre so tragic and heartbreaking my thoughts go towards his family, friends, Porto, Wolves Liverpool and Portugal fans Rip Diogo and Andre Jota
As a liverpool fan, this feels like a member of my family passed away 😢
You'll always be missed, Diogo Jota. YNWA ❤
I can't believe it..... Terrible..... Heartbroken I'm rocked to the core. I can't believe it
You'll never be missed?? Really??? 😡😡 Keep those thoughts to yourself.... He will be missed a lot
I think he meant to say they Diogo will be missed @@cyclingnut2122
@@cyclingnut2122OH MY GOD, IM SO SORRY.
gosh, i feel so bad
thank you sooo much for spotting that stupid mistake
I feel honestly as shocked as if I’d gotten the call suddenly that a healthy young member of my family has passed. He was always such an understated baller who was so humble for his ability. Feel so sad about this.
I'm in shock, I ignored and denied it for about half an hour, then was devastated to find out it's true. Sad as a fan and as a person. He did so much for our team and brought so much class, fun and unity to the club. I can only imagine how much more his wife and family are truly devastated. Praying for them that their loved ones will come around them and support them, and that the club will support them at this awful time. RIP Diogo brother, we love you.
Me too😢
It’s so hard to watch these clips. Great team player hard worker. CHAMPION
Arsenal fan here. Absolutely heartbroken, my condolences to the 2 brother's friends, family, all the Liverpool and Wolves fans across , all the football fans who knew him. Very very sad
Spurs fan here, but a fan of great football first. Jota played with intelligence, panache, and class.
And while the game is less for his loss, heart is broken for his family most of all. Loss of a husband, father, and son...devastating 💔
Even as a United fan, I almost cried hearing this, just for his family, and wife and kids. Poor parents lost both brothers. Rest in peace brother ❤
I almost cared what team you support ya absolute whopper.
As a Manchester United supporter my condolences goes out to Jota’s family, Portugal and Liverpool fans. Sad news indeed.
RIP
Thank you so much mate from all Liverpool fans around the world.
Dont need to say what club u support its tragic either way
I know mate. @bongdalefingle
@bongdalefinglethank you. I don’t like the “As a…” comments sometimes. Some things shouldn’t be about you
@bongdalefingleeveryone does it I do it even though I’m a Man U fan
Sad sad news 😢😢😢😢😢
From a United fan.
This is so so painful 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Thanks mate.
As a Liverpool fan, i'm honestly shocked to hear this news.
He had so much to live for😭😭😭😭
Won the Premier League last season,
Won the UEFA Nations League,
Built a reputable career,
Only for it to be taken away like that😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Rest In Peace Diogo Jota. #20 YNWA❤❤❤
Arsenal fan here. I'm devastated for Liverpool.
These lads live a boyhood dream, are an example and inspiration to many young kids and even adults.
Losing two sons in a family is horrible. Some things are more important than football.
Wishing them well.
RIP to Jota and blessings to his wife and kids.
Doesn't matter what team you support this is sad,RIP Jota and your little,condolences to your family
As a Portugal fans, it's so sad and unbelievable news for us lost one of the best player, RIP Jota
I always had a lot of respect for Diogo Jota as a Manchester City supporter. He performed well against us as he often did against many teams. This is really sad to hear and I hope both he and his brother rest in peace. I wish his family and friends well too. A great player who'll be missed by many.
Man United fan here, gotta say anytime I watched Liverpool play and Jota wasn’t on the pitch I’d always jokingly yell “put Jota in, put Jota in” because he was such a cheeky player. Loved watching him play! This is crazy 😢
Life can he incredibly cruel, RIP to both of them, thoughts and love to his family and friends. Absolutely heartbreaking
You'll never walk alone brother !!! It was a honour to watch you play and have you in our team !
Spent the last 10 minutes crying my eyes out…this is a tragic loss to his family, Liverpool and football in general such talent and ability Jota had was incredible…him and his brother who also passed away in this crash will be deeply missed😢😢😢😢🕊️💔💔💔
R.I.P I'm not a Liverpool Fan but he was a great player and he will be missed ♥️
He was a natural finisher who was clinical inside the box on the pitch and someone who always came across as a great guy with a good sense of humor off the pitch. Tragic news. Thoughts and prayers for his wife, children and parents. His song will be sung loudly and proudly by Liverpool fans for years to come and he'll never be forgotten. R.I.P. to him and his brother Andre. YNWA.
I have no words to express,,,he was a great player,,,always hammering us we Arsenal have really suffered under Jota,,,may you rest in peace
He won't be forgotten by the Liverpool fans. He will still live on in the hearts and minds of every one of us. Every game Liverpool play from now will have Jota chants. He will become part of Anfield now.
I'm absolutely gutted. Such a nice bloke it seemed and more importantly a loving husband and father to three children
Won"t be forgotten by the football world*
I'm a United fan but this is absolutely devastating, not just for Liverpool and Portugal, but for football in general. My love to his family. RIP, Warrior
West Ham United. Leeds United Southend United. Which one ??
I think his is talking about man United @@Hiawatha999
We need a tribute game of Liverpool vs Wolves
RIP DIOGO JOTA
Diogo wasn’t just a player - he was part of what made football thrilling. Every true fan, no matter the club, should feel this loss. Rest easy, Diogo. The game won’t be the same without you.
I'm still having shivers running down, this is a huge shock. RIP Diogo ❤🕊
The Wolves player I so desperately wanted at Arsenal.
May you and your brother rest in peace.
Condolences to the Family, Portugal, Liverpool FC.
the club should retire his number.😢our favourite number 20
Exactly out of respect
Are you joking. Napoli did that to Maradona. Barcelona and Real Madrid didn't do that to Messi and Ronaldo.
Just because he passed away unexpectedly while playing does not give him legend status. Rip.
@@Dipesh1234 Did Ronaldo and Messi die ? You are so insensitive just shut up
@@Dipesh1234 nah just shut up, u buggin
This has been done before..Teams in different sports have retired Jersey numbers of players who have tragically passed away..Why you would consider this suggestion a joke is beyond my understanding..Educate yourself..Your ignorance is showing..@@Dipesh1234
I am a Liverpool FC Fan and we lost our brother (Diogo Jota) today and his brother André too and they were so young and they had the rest of their lives taken away and so soon after Diogo got married and his misses becomes his wife and so soon after she becomes a widow, so sad and how does she break the news to their kids and Diogo was a great footballer, great in the air getting above taller players, a great header of the ball and so underrated and a great guy too and it isn't going to be the same without him and everytime we play i am going to be like where is Diogo and it seems weird referring to him in the past tense and at the same time i can't believe it, i feel like i am having a bad dream/nightmare and i am going to wake up in a minute and it's not going to be real just like when i lost my dad to cancer over 2 years ago, which still doesn't feel real now and i still don't feel like i have fully dealt with it and i don't think i ever will and we should retire Diogo's number 20 shirt in respect to him and it is just so devastating and not the early 31st birthday present i wanted for my birthday on 9th July and condolences to Diogo's and André's family, friends, the football clubs and to you fellow Fans and R.I.P Diogo and André ❤❤🪦🪦 and YNWA and one last thing only early hours this morning after 3 am i was watching an episode of a documentary series called air crash investigation/mayday the episode was called lost star footballer and was about the footballer emiliano sala and then this devastation happens and now it seems like watching that was a sign and sorry, for such a long message and it was hard writing this message
