Liverpool soccer star Diogo Jota has died in a car crash in Spain, the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) says.
The crash occurred near Zamora in northwestern Spain. Jota’s brother, André Silva, also died in the accident, according to the FPF.
The 28-year-old Jota, who won the Premier League title with Liverpool last season and played for Portugal’s national team, got married to Rute Cardoso two weeks ago. The couple have three children together.
“The Portuguese Football Federation and all the Portuguese football are completely devastated by the death of Diogo Jota and his brother Andres Silva this morning in Spain,” the federation said in a statement.
