The Lamborghini SUV that Jota was driving was overtaking another vehicle when it went off the road with a tire puncture and burned down as flames soared. It was a terrible accident. Rescue teams have arrived but have already missed the golden time. Police in Spain said Jota died at 0:30 a.m. local time on Thursday. The unimaginable tragedy came just 11 days after the wedding of longtime lover and mother of three, Rutte Cardoso, in Braga, northern Portugal.
Liverpool immediately issued a condolence statement and raised the flag. "Our beloved striker Jota died in a tragic accident. It's a huge loss and tragedy that the club can't imagine. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends, and ask them to respect their privacy so that they can quietly mourn this painful time."
Jota scored 65 goals in 182 games for Liverpool and is a key player in the team that contributed to winning the FA Cup, League Cup and last year's league championship.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot said "Jota was at the heart of the Liverpool player. He expressed his condolences, saying, "He was a player loved by everyone and he made me feel confident just by being with him, and he loved his family deeply." "At the last call, I congratulated Portugal on winning the Nations League and wished him all the best as he was about to get married," Slot said. "It was a dreamy summer for Diogo and his family in many ways, so it was even more heartbreaking that it ended like this."
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk added "It was a privilege to play with Jota and be friends off the field"We miss Jota beyond words and will never forget. Your legacy will live on forever and we will make sure that we keep that part."
Scottish national Liverpool left full-back Andy Robertson is the "most English expat I've ever met."The last day I saw him was the happiest day of his life, the wedding day. I want to remember his constant smile on that magical day. The day when he was full of love for his wife and family, he delivered a message of condolence.

Portuguese captain Cristiano Ronaldo said on social media: "I don't understand. We were together for the national team just now, and you just got married..." he said, expressing his deep pain at the incredible tragedy.
Ronaldo offered his condolences to Jota's family, wife and children, saying, "I know you will always be with them. May you rest in peace. Diogo and Andre. We will miss you all." Jurgen Klopp, who signed Jota to Liverpool as a former Liverpool manager, expressed his pain, saying, `My heart is breaking.' "Not only was Diego a great player, but he was also a great friend, a loving and caring husband and father. We will really miss you."
At Liverpool's Anfield Stadium, there is a constant procession of flowers from fans and tribute to the No. 20 uniform.
