Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has tragically died in Spain just days after his wedding. The Portugal international died after a car accident.
The 28-year-old took to Instagram just hours before his death to post a now heart-breaking final video of his wedding day, which showed the build-up to the ceremony and the joyous celebrations.
Jota, who married long-time partner Rute Cadoso 11 days ago, captioned the post: “A day we will never forget,” along with a love heart.
They had been in a relationship since 2012, with Jota proposing to her in July 2022 at a lakeside setting. The couple had three children together.
After tying the knot, he had said: “I’m the lucky one.” Meanwhile, Rute had shared a photo of the ceremony, writing: “Yes to forever. My dream came true.”
Jota joined Liverpool in 2020 and become a cult hero for his important goals, including nine last season as the Reds won the league. He netted a total of 65 goals in 182 appearances for the Anfield side.
