-------------------------------------------------------
Newcastle hero Alan Shearer led the tributes, simply posting 'Heartbreaking' with a broken heart emoji, while Sandro Tonali reposted an image of Diogo Jota with a prayer emoji on his Instagram.
The 28-year-old only recently married his long-time partner, with whom he has three children, which somehow makes the whole thing even more tragic and devastating.
Rest in Peace, Jota. You'll never walk alone!
