Liverpool star Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva were laid to rest at a church in Gondomar, near Porto, in Portugal on Saturday, a day after the two lost their lives in a car crash in Spain earlier this week. The accident took place around 12:30 am local time in the Spanish province of Zamora. According to the Spanish police, Jota's car veered off the road while trying to overtake another vehicle. A tyre blowout caused the car to lose control and catch fire. Sadly, both Jota and his brother died at the scene.
On Saturday, Jota's former Liverpool and Portugal teammates and some other football stars attended his funeral.
