Mourners gather in Portugal for Diogo Jota’s wake as Salah and Robertson pay tribute

Mourners gathered on Friday morning to honour Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota at a wake in Portugal

Mourners have gathered at a wake in Portugal to commemorate Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, following their deaths in a car accident.

Jota and his 25-year-old sibling died when the Lamborghini they were travelling in careered off a road in north-western Spain in the early hours of Thursday. The bodies of the two professional footballers were returned to Portugal later that day. Jota was 28 and had married his long-term partner, Rute Cardoso, 11 days before his death. They had three young children.
