Liverpool’s Portuguese forward Diogo Jota, 28, died in a fiery car crash near Zamora in northwestern Spain with his brother, Spanish state-owned TV station said on Thursday (July 3, 2025), citing local firefighters.
Police told Reuters everything pointed to that information being correct, although they could not yet officially confirm the names.
The regional fire department of Castille-Leon, where Zamora is located, said on its website a car crashed shortly after midnight on Thursday and burst into flames, with two men, aged 28 and 26, found dead.
Jota, who got married on June 28, helped Liverpool win the Premier League title last season and also won the FA Cup and League Cup with the Merseyside outfit.
Jota’s rise began during three years with English side Wolverhampton Wanderers from 2017 to 2020, before making the big move to Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp.
He also made 49 appearances for Portugal, twice winning the UEFA Nations League, including the most recent one last month.
