Diogo Jota & his brother Andre have died in a car crash

[noseve]

Genuinely shocked to read this breaking story on the BBC news app.

Sit up straight, mouth open, shocked.

That's truly shocking. RIP Diogo.

From the BBC:

The car, a Lamborghini, left the road due to a tyre blow out while overtaking another car. The car set on fire, and both are confirmed to have died.

That is fucking heart wrenching.

I can’t even begin to imagine what his family, kids, team mates, manager, ex managers, friends etc are all going through.

I hope the football community all come together during the first weekend of fixtures to remember a fantastic football player.

RIP. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends

Shit that's terrible I liked this lad even though he played for Liverpool, fuck me life isn't fair sometimes

Terrible news RIP to him and his brother

Bernardo, Dias and Nunes would have been close to him as well playing for the same national team

 

[journolud]

Fuck

Oh my god. Absolutely awful and terrifying every time you hear a story like this... Life is so unpredictable, short, and precious. Thoughts with his family, can't imagine what the parents must be going through to have lost their two lads like that. Horrible.

Jeeezzz, this is just shocking news, at first I thought it was one of those sick bot fakes but sadly it clicked on to the Independent which confirmed.
Devastating for his family and the football family in general
Sincere condolences
