According to multiple reports, Jota and his brother Andre Silva died in a car crash in Spain. The crash reportedly happened in the municipality of Cernadilla, Zamora, around 12:30 am in the early hours of Thursday morning in Spain. 

Jota and his brother reportedly died from the crash after one of the Lamborghini tyres they were driving burst while trying to overtake a car. 

Although it happened around midnight in Spain, the tragic news only broke this morning, throwing the football world into mourning. 

Following the news, the whole football community has been sending their condolences to Jota’s family and Liverpool, the current club of Jota, before his passing. 

Some of the notable names that sent their condolences included Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal.

Before his death, Jota was married to his wife, who is also the mother of his three kids. In fact, the two got married just a few days ago. 

The 28-year-old is also survived by his parents, who will have to live with the agony of losing two sons in a car crash for the rest of their lives. 

Meanwhile, Liverpool have confirmed that they will continue to provide Jota’s family with all the support they need.
