'No way!'

The whole European football community is in shock and sadness. This is because tragic news that I can't believe has been delivered.

Diogo Jota, a key member of the Portuguese national team and the leading striker of Liverpool in the English Premier League (EPL), died in a car accident on the 3rd (Korean time).




Spanish media Marca, Britain's The Sun, and the Daily Mail all reported Jota's death. According to the media, a Lamborghini car carrying Jota and his brother Andre Silva was involved in an accident on a highway in the Palacios de Sanabria region of Spain.

In the process of overtaking the previous car, the tire burst, and soon the car in which the brothers were riding lost its balance and left the road. A fire broke out immediately afterwards, killing both people. According to witness testimony, the Jota's vehicle was engulfed in flames immediately after leaving the road, and even burned plants around the road.

The content is even more tragic. Jota, who was recognized by former coach Jurgen Klopp early on in EPL's prestigious Liverpool, is a member who led the team's golden age. However, he was born in 1996 and is still in his 20s. He died in a sudden car accident just as he was enjoying the prime of his career. He died with his younger brother, who is also a soccer player.




Moreover, Jota had finally married his long-term lover, Root Cardoso, just two weeks earlier. The couple already have three children. After having a long common-law relationship, they recently got married in their home country of Portugal and were congratulated by countless people.

The whole of Europe is devastated ahead of the unbelievably vain death. The first team to make its professional debut, Pacos De Pereira, the current team Liverpool, the Portuguese Football Association, Wolverhampton, Atletico Madrid and Porto, and the teams and associations that Jota belonged to or is currently in, all paid tribute to Jota in official statements.

Fellow players who played with Jota were also in shock.

In particular, Cristiano Ronaldo, a former teammate of the Portuguese national team, posted a heartbreaking tribute on social media.

The Sun, a British media outlet, posted a tribute to Ronaldo's heartbreak at the news of Jota's death. Ronaldo said it was "ridiculous" and "incredible news."

"It doesn't make sense," Ronaldo said. We were together on the national team not too long ago, and you've just got married. I send my deepest condolences to your family, wife and children, and I console them with all the power of the world. "I know you will always be with them (family). Rest in Peace Diogo and Andre, we'll all miss you guys."

Ronaldo and Jota played together in the Portugal national team uniform at Euro 2020 and the Qatar World Cup. Jota was scoring 14 goals in a total of 49 appearances for the national team.
