Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota dies in car crash



Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has died aged 28 after a car crash in Spain.

Jota was in the car with his 26-year-old brother, Andre, a footballer for FC Penafiel in Portugal, who also died. No other vehicles were involved in the crash shortly after midnight local time, Spanish authorities said.

It has been just two weeks since the 28-year-old star married long-term partner Rute Cardoso in Porto. โ€œA day we will never forget,โ€ reads the caption of his last Instagram post, which shows a video of the wedding day.
