“Futebol Clube Penafiel expresses its deepest sympathy for the tragic death of Andre Silva and his brother Diogo Jota, victims of a road accident in the last few hours,” the club said.

An eyewitness travelling on the same road that Diogo Jota suffered a fatal car accident on has refuted claims that the Liverpool forward was speeding.

Diogo Jota's former number 20 will be retired by Liverpool at all levels to remember their former player who died July 3.

Chelsea forward Pedro Neto hopes to win the Club World Cup in memory of his Portugal team-mate Diogo Jota, after the Liverpool player and his brother, Andre Silva, died in a car crash last week.

The football club of Diogo Jota’s brother, Andre Silva, said they are “filled with pain” at their deaths. Both were killed in a car crash while travelling together in Spain and tributes have been flooding in for the two siblings.
