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

[AlexGrimaldo]

Since he first appeared here in Portugal, a player I’ve always admired for his attitude and, of course, his quality. Rest in peace Diogo e André.

Hundreds of people are killed in road accidents in Europe every year. We don’t really think about it too much except where it is a family member, a friend, or, as in this case, a well known person.
All football fans will be saddened today at the loss of these brothers and their families will be devastated.
We all send our thoughts, prayers and condolences to the families of the brothers. Stay safe, friends.
RIP Diogo Jota and Andre Silva.

It’s actually thousands, over 20,000 in 2023 in the EU alone. Driving is probably the most dangerous thing most of us do.

Heartbreaking news, Diogo was always a complete pain when he played against us, terrific player. Prayers to his parents and to both of the brothers families.

Shocking news. So so sad for the family. Footy is a game we all love, it’s horrible to hear this, he’s a big well known name in the game, bet our 3 Portuguese lads are horrified. RIP

Heartbreaking news, you can only imagine what the family are going through right now. RIP

Truly awful news.

 

[Shaker here..]

Just flicked through the thread and can't add any more words.

RIP!

Holy fuck, wow, what an absolute travesty :( this has made me absolutely sick.

RIP Diogo Jota and his brother.

It’s always sad and shocking when someone fit and healthy is lost in their prime, and this is no exception. Really tragic.

RIP Diogo and Andre.

He was one of the opponents I feared most but also admired. What an unbelievably tragic day. When people say “we’re thinking of his family” I think they really mean it. I know I do.

Daily Mail showing their class once again by posting pictures on their website of the wreck (won’t post here out of respect). 2 men after dying and they’re coming up with headlines like “Jota twist of fate”. Vermins.

I have said it before but as someone non-british I find some of the tonedeaf reporting in English newspapers baffling. I am not saying every newspaper is as bad, but the kind of disrespecting tabloid reporting you often see as the norm certain places would have led to outrage and people losing their jobs if someone attempted it in Scandinavia

 

[red 2 hats]

Deepest condolences to both the families, hope they get all the help and support they need, he was a cracking player RIP

It's especially awful when two young lives are cut short in such tragic circumstances. At times like these, it's important to take time to reflect on how much our loved ones mean to us. RIP.

That’s actually vile. I’ve not seen that but I’ve read why he and his brother were driving and if that’s what they are referring to then they are fucking horrible.

Bang on

Always go on about family is the most valuable thing to my lads they have and never to forget it

 

[DCS1]

Lets hope they didn't suffer.

My exact thoughts too-lets hope the impact killed them before the fire did .

 

[theres only one carlito]

So sad for everyone involved, family’s destroyed in a blink of an eye. Kids that have lost fathers forever at such young ages, parents that have lost both boys at the same time. It’s devastating. And for what? Is it fate? Is it stupidity? It’s bloody cruel whatever. RIP lads, condolences to your family’s and sending my love and prayers to your young children. Bloody awful. So sad.
