I’m devastated to share the news that Diogo Jota, the talented Liverpool and Portugal forward, has died following a car accident in Spain. Reports confirm that the accident occurred late last night near Seville, when Jota’s vehicle collided with another car on a highway. Emergency services responded quickly, but sadly, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
He was just 28 years old.
This is truly heartbreaking. Jota had been an incredible player for both Liverpool and the Portuguese national team. He joined Liverpool from Wolves in 2020 and quickly became a key part of the attack, known for his sharp movement, pressing, and ability to score crucial goals. For Portugal, he was seen as part of the next generation who would carry the team forward alongside players like Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes.
Many tributes are already pouring in from teammates, clubs, and fans. Mohamed Salah posted online, calling Jota’s death “extremely difficult to accept,” while Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed deep shock and sadness, saying it “doesn’t make sense.”
Jota started his professional career with Paços de Ferreira in Portugal, then moved to Atlético Madrid, where he was loaned out to Porto before joining Wolves. His rise through the ranks was a story of hard work and relentless determination. He won the Premier League title with Liverpool in the 2019–2020 season (though he joined slightly after that triumph), and he played a big part in helping them stay competitive in domestic and European competitions afterward.
Outside of football, Jota was known as a quiet, humble person who stayed out of the limelight. He leaves behind family, teammates, and fans who loved him not just for his skill but for his character.
This loss will be felt deeply across the football world.
If anyone has more confirmed details or official club statements, please share them here. Let’s remember Diogo Jota for the joy he brought to the pitch and the legacy he leaves behind.
RIP Diogo Jota.
