Diogo Jota had recently married
The 28-year-old Diogo Jota, who was called Diogo José Teixeira da Silva with a bourgeois name, died in the night of Thursday in a car accident in northwestern Spain together with his brother André da Silva (25). The accident was probably triggered by a burst tire. The car came off the road, broke through a guardrail and went up in flames.
The football world reacted shocked to death. Jota had just married his long -time girlfriend Rut Cardoso, with whom he had three children. The two have been a couple since their school days.
