- The footballing world pays tribute to Diogo Jota, who tragically died in a car accident in Spain at the age of 28, along with his brother Andre Silva.
What is so Heartbreaking is what his Mother & Father must be feeling when hearing they've Lost Both Sons. What His Wife of 5 Days Must be Feeling . And 3 Children who will hear there Father is Never Coming Home. Absolutely Gut Wrenching 😢. Shedding Tears For Them All !
God Speed Diogo & Andre.
❤️🙏 *Both* *Will* *Never* *Walk* *Alone* 🙏❤️
RIP Diogo, good player. This is the first time he never dived and look what happened eh?
Especially even more sad for the parents, they only have just them two, they had no other siblings.😢😢
@l.mendes547💔
YNWA❤❤❤❤❤
@l.mendes547the wife too . They’ve been together since they were teenagers. Had 3 kids , the youngest kid , born just last year . Married the man she loved for such a long time . Heartbreaking
I can't help but think of his wife, his kids, his parents. What they must feel... It breaks my heart. I didn't know him, almost none of us did, and yet we will never forget him.
100% agree that thier family is the real consequence of thier death, so sad to see RIP BROTHERS
The parents, nothing is more brutal and more soul distroying than to lose your child and in this instance, both sons, heartbreaking
We walk along.
The kids lost there dad and there uncle in one day
Kind words my friend. (Respect) 👍
Please remember his brother as much as jota - as jota would wish xx
100%, classy response mate
❤️❤️🕯️🕯️🙏🕊️
Riep Diego ❤ & Andre you will be missed ❤❤❤
You said it all
This night Ukraine, capital Kyiv, we don't sleep whole night, coming from bomb shelters to home to sleep at least couple hours before job. You close your windows, because whole city is covered by smoke, and you cant breathe normally, home is full of smoke, your eyes, your brain is feels bad, you sleep 2 hours and wake up to a next day, you read news, tens of people damaged, hospitalized, several buildings burnt to the ground, cars, roads destroyed, 10 years old kid hospitalized now. Do you remember this? Or you didn't even know? xD But millionier footballer on a sportcar is more important, we understand you guys 🥰
Diogo was loved by everyone in the Liverpool community. It feels too close to the heart. It's like a family member has passed
28 and 25 years old. Absolute tragedy when anyone dies that young. Can't imagine how their families must be feeling
1996-2025.
1996?!!! That feels like yesterday.
Life is short and so precious.
Hug your loved ones and tell them you love them.
RIP Diogo and Andre ❤
yeah I reacted to that as well. I remember the european championship of 96 yet I feel younger than what Diogo Jota looked. I understand I'm way older now. RIP Diogo Jota.
I was born in the same year. I still feel young, Jota probably felt the same.
the year gazza destroyed scotland
Absolutely right
It was yesterday
I am from Porto and we are devastated
It was one amazing playing
You are still very young @doloresbure8674
im a Chelsea fan and was sitting in a pub in Scotland having lunch, I literarily balled my eyes out, I feel for all the family and the Liverpool fans
I was too he will be missed by us reds 😢
@angeladorsett1159 by everyone, not just reds
You are not alone there Paul. Wonderful player for Wolves and we will never forget him….RIP Diogo……😢🙏
😢
Thank you for pushing the game aside. A human was lost and we appreciate the outpouring of everyone coming along to support a human and a family man.
Crazy how my biggest worry this summer was LFC selling Diogo - never imagined it would be this instead. Rest in peace, Diogo.
Life is very uncertain…
Strange how life works. You truly have to live for today, never know when it might be your last 🙏 RIP Diogo Jota
SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN SPEEDING
Exactly mate... coming into his prime years 😢😢😢
As a Manchester United fan, I send you all my deepest condolences and thank you for such a wonderful farewell to a footballer, a man, a father, a husband who left too soon. May the Lord watch over his soul in the Heavenly Champions League!
Celtic fan here. RIP Diogo & Andre 🙏
"We need to bring Jota on" was said every game he was on the bench because he was so good and we loved him ❤️ RIP Diogo and Andre
Jurgen 😢 I can’t imagine what he must be feeling. He loved Diogo, Andre, his wife, his three children and the parents. Everyone connected to the club was and still is considered to be his family.
I'm an Arsenal fan and a big fan of football. Always loved the energy from Liverpool fans, players and Anfield itself. It hurts losing someone that has had an impact in your life indirectly. Rest in Peace Diogo & André, you will be missed and never forgotten.❤
Today we are not Liverpool fan, Manchester United fan, Arsenal fan nor Chelsea fan. We come here together today to say good bye to Jota, he's in a better place.
RIP Jota and his brother.
The wolves fixtures will be massive this season hope the fans can come together to celebrate Diogo and his brother
I feel the FA should split the points and just have a friendly both games, emotions will be ridiculously high between the 2 teams (it wont happen obvs cos its the PL but can always wish and dream)
We will. You have 2 clubs here who know how to show tribute in the best way. We'll all never forget him
I think we all should pay equal tributes to his brother Andre. He too has lost his life and his parents have lost 2 sons. RIP. 🙏😭
The most humble, likeable player I've had the joy to watch at Liverpool. 🎵 His name is diogo 🎵
Am an everton fan from the city, rivalry out the window I have to keep stopping me self from crying, I wanna send my thoughts,prays and to the familys of both Jota and his brother you have gone to soon ❤❤ sending my love to your families ynwa❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Cheers, Phil.
Cheers, mate
I've been a big Portugal fan from Germany for many years and I can't express how I feel. Shock. Parents who lost two sons. Unimaginable. 💔
My deepest sympathy to their families, friends, team members and fans worldwide.
Fly free, beautiful souls Diogo and André.❤️🕯❤️🕯🙏🕊
I'm a LFC fan from South Africa and the news today of Diogo and Andre's passing has hit right in the heart. I can only pass my deepest condolences to his family and friends. RIP Diogo and Andre. You are already missed.😢
Liverpool best ever transfer window, and as a fan, I couldn't care less who we sign now. This has overshadowed everything. RIP DJ.😢 YNWA
Seeing ‘RIP’ next to ‘Diogo Jota’ still doesn’t feel real to me, this whole day doesn’t feel real
I've been rapidly changing from several stages of grief, mostly denial and depression, but also irrational anger towards Lamborghini for not having enough safety features in the car to avoid loss of life, or his doctors for recommending not flying. Like I said, irrational...
@Whiskypapa I'm still in denial, I'm not one to get upset at things but this has really got to me
Exactly
😂😂😂😂😂 FFS
He was a immigrant 😂😂😂
RIP Diogo Jota
These are the moments when you realize you should enjoy every second of life. Before you know it's over.
Im a man U fan but this is devastating,a fantastic player and my heart goes out to his family
Respect brother ✊️
🔥 YNWA 🔥
Thanks, lad. Things like this bring everything into perspective.
Much respect to you there, the football world is in shock & in mourning devastated at the a tragic & sad loss of Diogo Jota & especially for all his family R~I~P Diogo Jota & Andre Silva
Im so sorry for his whole family ...... No words can even begin to describe how much he meant to so many people.... Good man good husband good dad..... Rest easy mate...... Far too young to leave this world....
From Portugal here.
Like CR said, it really doesn't make sense. A tragedy beyond comprehension.
American Liverpool fan here, I cannot believe this. I woke up to this news and have shed a number of tears. He brought millions of us so much joy in his time at Liverpool. As a father and husband I cannot imagine the pain his family must be feeling. Devastating. YNWA, ooooh his name is Diogo. Fly high king. Retire the 20, he’s earned it. Wow.
I'm an everton fan. I cried for his family and friends I know what it's like to lose a child but everyone's story is different there is nothing that compares to having to bury your child. It is such a tragic way to die. RIP in peace jota and Andre condolences to all of his family and friends. My love goes to his new wedded wife and children. Liverpool wolves FC panatheal and Porto You will never walk alone
@Toffeeabi81 Thank you, lad. Class!
I have followed LFC for 60 years, we have had more than our share of heartbreak, but this is beyond heartbreaking.
I have literally cried most of the day, firstly for Diogo, for his wife & children, for his brother & his parents. He was such a lovely genuine unassuming guy who lived for his family. Beyond the human tragedy the footballing world & LFC in particular have lost an amazing footballer. His passion & enthusiasm for the game was infectious as was his smile. Thank you Diogo for the wonderful memories you have given us. I hope when they are older your children will learn how universally loved you are.
RIP Diogo YNWA.
Crying Crying as a a Dutch Liverpool fan. May God rest him in peace. YNWA
Biggest condolences to his parents they lost 2 of their children and the kids lost a father and his wife lost a husband of a couple of days. Extremely Devastating news.
And Andre silva you’ll never walk alone ❤❤❤ rip both of them
As a football fan from Nigeria 🇳🇬
I woke up this morning and took my phone.i saw him on the news but thought it was just a normal transfer rumors then I screwed and saw him again until I saw rip.
I was down but what I can say is that god gives and take.
My condolences to his family and friends most especially the football world and wife😢😢💔💔
We also heard the news about former Nigeria GK Peter Rufai's passing. He played here in Portugal and I remember him playing for Farense. RIP Peter and Diogo.💔🇵🇹🇳🇬
This is so so sad…..2 young men from one family, gone.. How would a family recover from such a tragedy. Words couldn’t describe how they must be feeling RIP Diogo and Andre❤
I'm in Botswana, Africa, and this is terrible 😢. It feels like I literally lost a family member. It's amazing what football does to humanity.
Diogo Jota, what a player. My whole day was ruined by this news. he was my favourite player and just last week I was scared we were going to sell him. Just 5 days ago he was married he had 3 kids and a loving Wife. Truly sading. A mother and father lost both their sons in a horrible accident, life sometimes is just unfair! My deepest condolences to his friends and family. YNWA ❤
Signed in 2020. Wore the number 20. Lifted number 20. To you and you're brother, You'll Never Walk Alone.
Heart goes out his wife, children and all their family ❤❤
RIP DJ20

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 ❤️
City Fan here he was such a great striker. Diogo Jota rip you will be missed such devastating news 💔 also rip to his brother Andre
I'm a man city fan from Africa kenya and I'm in tears to hear Diogo Jota's devastating demise,he has been a good guy in person, condolences to his family, it's a sad day indeed 😢😢😢😢

Fan from Liberia 🇱🇷
As a Leeds Utd fan was devastated to hear of Diago's passing was so looking forward to seeing our boys once again testing our metal against LFC. When the " YNWA " Song blares out across Anfield my eyes will well up for such a talented young player 🙏 taken far too soon.We are a footballing family MOT thoughts & prayers to Diago's Family.
Unreal 😭 ❤ Man U fan, and Portugal 🇵🇹 by roots. We just won the nations league. God Bless you, your brother, and family.
It's shows two young men loving life
I will sing his song at Anfield on the 20th minute every game this season 💔
He's among my dream league lineup for the last 5yrs 😮😢
R.I.P Diogo Jota .
RIP Jota 😢 From a Man Utd fan to the family friends and fans of Liverpool my thoughts and prayers are with you all. YNWA ❤ x
❤ there are no words to describe the pain for his beloved family & friends God Bless them all & friends reach out with love.
He stands as one of the best of Portugal, in and off the pitch. As a former immigrant in England, he made us incredibly proud. Descansa em paz Campeão. 💔🇵🇹 To the Liverpool fans, please chant his song. Liverpool and Portugal's boy. 💔🇵🇹🇬🇧
NO WAY. HE WAS VERY AVERAGE
@damokinawa1291 one of the most clinical strikers we had in years. Damn you might as well watch football
Heartbreaking to lose a Legend in the Making just as he was about to start his journey. This cannot be anything but Devastating to His Parents, New Wife and Young Babies. Rest In Power. LFC Fan South Africa.😢
One of my favourite players ever at Liverpool, you will never be forgotten. I’m heartbroken like so many others. Thank you for the memories. R.I.P. YNWA
Your most recent derby goal, your winner against Spurs, your countless magics against Arsenal, your heading prowess, your candid interviews to the media - all will be remembered so well, Diogo. You were a hope giving player to us LFC fans when we were a goal or 2 down, we always knew that your both-footed skills or the beastly heading ability will give us the winner or an equalizer. The way you dance on the pitch with football at your feet is unforgettable. Hope you are in a better place now, Diogoal. ❤
It kills me, when I think that his parents have to go through body identification of two sons, especially given how it’s happened, I cannot begin to imagine what the parents are going through. Heartbreaking 💔
Unfortunately it might be worse that that as authorities have asked for DNA tests to get identification
@markpalmer7215tbf, my comment is not fully right, there probably won’t be body identification given how they died.
Shock, still shock.... Rest in peace brother
Shocking, i liked him so much, Chelsea fan here
Hes wears the number 20
Rest easy Diego and Andre
Youll never walk alone
I don’t believe in deaths. It never feels real. I can’t imagine how his family are feeling. He has the best seat in the house looking down on us all now. YNWA! Stay strong for him ❤️🏆
As a hardcore gunners fan, my sincere condolences to the family 🙏
As a leicester fan I hated him he always scored against us,but what a player,sleep tight brother gone to soon
Diogo seemed such a humble man… The world has lost a great man, role model, and most of all father…
How sad what a wonderful soccer player RIP 🇨🇦🇵🇹❤
He was my favourite player to see him play at united when he was a wolves player 😢 Rip 🪦 brother 🙏🏾 🕊️
DIOGO YOU ARE A LEGEND FOREVER.....REST IN PEACE WITH YOUR BROTHER IN SKY....R.I.P
I woke up to this news and I was immediately confused and angry. May he and Andre rest in peace and may their family know joy at their memory.
Gone too soon, Diogo Jota. Your passion, your skills, your smile - they will forever be missed on and off the pitch. Rest in peace, legend. The football world will never forget you🇧🇩😭💔⚽️
Is very heart breaking i swear... May his soul in peace
Breaks my hearth to see the love and care Liverpool fans have for Diogo sharing my tears with you all here from Portugal he Will be among the greatest and Will never be forgotten 😢
It's absolutely heart breaking 😢
R.I.P STILL IN SHOCK 😢😢😢
Unimaginable indeed... RIP DIOGO

RIP brother. Condolences to Diogo wife and kids. He will be missed. Great player. YNWA.. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
It just makes me think how sad it must have been at both Munich and Hillsborough, I wasn't alive for them, but with how sad this makes me, I can't imagine what those other two were like...
All players of Liverpool, Wolves, Portugal National team, and Porto must wear T-Shirts with "Jota" print on it for at least one game!
“You are now in the glorious skies”
Look down on us with your twinkling eyes”
❤❤❤
Rest well brothers.....we do appreciate your contributions towards the great game.
We missed you guys already and the psrents it's too much to comprehend but God is your strength.

Still can’t believe it he was an actual baller at Wolves and Liverpool under Klopp, Rip Jota 💔🙏
SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN SPEEDING
@damokinawa1291 Bald
Shame on u kid @damokinawa1291
@damokinawa1291and if u dont know his tire came off and they crashed so get ur facts right inhumane
@damokinawa1291speeding? Did you block your ears when they said his tire exploded?
So sad, and very unfortunate. RIP D. Jota
my condolences to Liverpool fans, friends, and family
I didn’t know Diogo Jota personally. I have no connection to him or his brother, except for my own name, which happens to be the same as Diogo’s brother who also passed.
But as many of you I do follow Liverpool FC, as I have for most of my life. And what I do have are memories. Memories of goals he scored, of moments of joy he brought, of late winners that made mid week and weekends feel absloute magic.
And now I carry something else. After learning more about the man behind the goals, how kind, how generous, how loved he was by the Liverpool community (and of course all of Portugal for whom he also played), by friends, by family, by the person he’d just married only two weeks ago by the three children he leaves behind, I feel sadness. Deep, genuine sadness.
I think the suddenness and dramatic nature of his passing has probably caught me out a little bit. For today, I shed tears. Not because I knew him, but because something about this loss pierced through. And I let it.
Because sometimes we need to stop and feel it all. The fragility. The unfairness. The preciousness. Life doesn’t always make sense, but we can honour it by letting it move us. RIP, Diogo and Andre.
Thank you for the joy, the light, the inspiration, on and off the pitch.
Beautiful words brother. We all feel it together YNWA
Brings tears to eyes, when you see the tributes,condolences Diogo you will sadly be missed YNWA RIP
Am so devastated can't get it out my head for the both of them and what's to come for his wife and children and family. Just want to say lfc are a family and it's like loosing a brother but want to also say thank you so much to all the other fans that have paid tribute it's times like this when we all come together a one massive family also don't forget his brother who I don't know much about but was a human being just like jota and is going to be sadly missed by millions xxxx
I’m heartbroken 💔💔💔, thank you for everything Diogo. RIP Diogo and Andre
