Liverpool’s squad gathered in the quaint Portuguese town of Gondomar on Saturday to attend the funeral of their Premier League teammate Diogo Jota, who, along with his younger brother, tragically passed away in a car accident in Spain on Thursday.

Among those present were the club captain Virgil Van Dijk, the goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, and manager Arne Slot, alongside both current and former teammates who traveled to Portugal late on Friday to honor the striker and his brother, Andre Silva.

They are anticipated to join the mourning family and hundreds of Gondomar residents, a northern Portugal town where Jota spent his childhood, for the service at the Igreja Matriz church.

Rute Cardoso, who married Jota just weeks ago, is expected to be accompanied by the couple’s three young children.

Jota‘s death at the age of 28 sent shock waves through the world of football and beyond, with messages of condolences pouring in from national leaders as well as across the sport.

The brothers were believed to have been driving to a ferry in Spain to travel to Britain when their Lamborghini veered off the road and burst into flames after midnight on Thursday.

Police said they suspected a tire had burst.
