Gilabola.com – The tragic departure of Diogo Jota shook the world of football. The 28 -year -old Liverpool striker died in a car accident in Spain on Thursday morning, with his sister, Andre Silva.

This morning, Portugal was in the sorrow. The Jota and her sister’s cluties ceremony was held at Capela Da RESSUREICAO, Gondomar, and will be continued with a funeral on Saturday morning at Igreja Matriz.

Condolences flooded social media and world stadiums. Arne Slot, Liverpool coach, expressed deep sorrow over the departure of players he considered not only stars on the field, but also a humble person and loved by his colleagues. “Diogo is not looking for popularity, but he gets it,” said Slot.

The slot remembers their last conversation a few days ago, when Jota was preparing for his wedding. “This summer is the dream season for him, and that makes all this far more heartbreaking,” he added.

At Anfield, supporters began to come since Thursday morning, putting flowers and handwriting containing farewell messages. The flag was lowered half a pole and all club facilities were closed until Monday as a form of respect and support for the staff.

Worldly sympathy and too deep wounds

Cristiano Ronaldo expressed his surprise for this incident, claiming to have just met Jota in the national team. “Just yesterday we were together, you just got married. Hopefully the family found the power to get through this,” Ronaldo wrote in an emotional Instagram message.

The Portuguese football federation called the departure of Jota and Andre as “irreplaceable loss” for national football. Meanwhile, Prince William also expressed his condolences to the Jota family.

Jota, who joined Liverpool in 2020 from Wolverhampton, contributed greatly to the success of the club including the Premier League title season 2024/2025.

He is known as a versatile player with a high work ethic and modest personality. Together with his wife, whom he had just married, they were blessed with three children and often shared their family moments through social media.

Now, the world of football loses more than just a goalscorer, he loses a good human whose life is cut off in the midst of happiness that has just begun.
