Diogo Jota's career before passing away at the age of 28

World football has just received a big shock when Diogo Jota, a star of Liverpool and the Portuguese national team, passed away in a serious traffic accident in Spain.

According to Marca, the incident occurred at km 65 near Sanabria, Zamora province, northwestern Spain. This sad incident happened just two weeks after Jota married his longtime girlfriend Rute Cardoso in Porto ( portugal).

Witnessnesses present at the scene said the car carrying Jota and his younger brother Andre suddenly lost control, plunged out of the way and caught fire fiercely. The fire quickly spread, completely burning down the car and part of the surrounding trees, causing a serious fire. When the rescue team arrived, both victims were no longer alive.

The news of Jota's passing has shocked the entire football world. Born in 1996 in Porto, Jota is one of the outstanding players of the new generation of Portuguese football.

Jota joined Liverpool in 2020 from Wolves for a transfer fee of €44.7 million and quickly made his mark at Anfield. Even during the period when The Kop owned the trio of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, Jota still knew how to leave his mark. At one point, this striker was considered a "river" of Liverpool.

Not only known as a player with rich technique and sharp goal-scoring instinct, Jota is also highly appreciated for his dedication and professionalism. He always maintains a exemplary image in the eyes of his teammates as well as fans, an example of dedication but also full of modesty off the field.

Jota's sudden passing was a big shock not only to his family but also to football fans in general. In Portugal, where Jota is considered a national pride, is also sinking into pain at this huge loss.

On social media, a series of players, coaches and clubs from all over the world have sent their deepest condolences to his family.
