Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher Respond to the Tragic Death of Liverpool Forward Diogo Jota Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard have paid tribute to Diogo Jota on social media following the tragic demise of the Liverpool forward. In the early hours of Thursday, Jota, 28, and his sibling,
Andre Silva, were killed in a car accident. The Lamborghini, as per reports, was forced to exit the roadway as a result of a tyre blowout while attempting to overtake another vehicle. The car was subsequently set on fire, resulting in the deaths of Jota and his brother.
The Spanish Guardia Civil stated in a statement that the Lamborghini was involved in a road traffic accident and exited the road as a result of a tyre failure while overtaking. This information is currently available. In the municipality of Cernadilla, in the province of Zamora, it occurred in the early hours of the morning, at 00:30 BST. The two occupants were slain when the vehicle caught fire. Pedro Proenca,
the President of the Portuguese Football Federation, issued a separate statement in which he stated, “The Portuguese Football Federation and all of Portuguese football are completely devastated by the death of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, which occurred in Spain this early morning.” “Much more than an exceptional player, Diogo Jota was an extraordinary individual who was a reference in the
community and had almost 50 international appearances for the national team. He was characterised by an infectious joy.” “I would like to extend my sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Diogo and Andre Silva, as well as Liverpool FC and FC Penafiel, the clubs where they played football, on behalf of the Portuguese Football Federation and myself.”
“The Portuguese Football Federation has already requested a minute of silence from Uefa for the women’s European Championship match between our national team and Spain this Thursday.” “The absence of Diogo and Andre is an irreplaceable loss for Portuguese football, and we will make every effort to preserve their legacy on a daily basis.”
