Jota was driving with his brother in the province of Zamora in north-western Spain early on Thursday morning when the car left the road and caught fire. The tragic incident occurred just two weeks after Jota had married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso in Porto.

Jota had been playing for the current English champions Liverpool for almost five years.
