The late soccer player, who played for the Wolverhampton Wanderers and Atlético Madrid, died in a car accident with his brother in Spain.
Diogo Jota, the Liverpool football/soccer star who was best known for his time with the Wolverhampton Wanderers FC and Atlético de Madrid, was killed in a car accident with his brother André Silva. He was 28.
Several notable sports figures, including Cristiano Ronaldo, were quick to mourn their loss on Thursday.
“Doesn’t make any sense. Just now we were together in the national team, just now you were married,” Ronaldo wrote on Instagram. “To your family, to your wife, your children, I send my condolences and wish them all the strength in the world. I know you will always be with them. R.I.P. Diogo and André. We will all miss you.”
Four-time NBA champion LeBron James also shared his condolences.
