The sports world is mourning the tragic death of 28-year-old soccer star Diogo Jota.
Spanish police confirmed that Jota and his brother were killed in a car crash.
The fatal accident occurred early Thursday morning in northwestern Spain.
Authorities say the Lamborghini they were in veered off the road and burst into flames.
Investigators believe a burst tire may have caused the crash near Zamora.
Emergency crews arrived quickly, but both men were pronounced dead at the scene.
Jota was a celebrated Portuguese footballer and a beloved figure in Liverpool.
Just weeks ago, he had helped his team win the Premier League.
Fans gathered in Liverpool to pay tribute with flowers, scarves, and silent vigils.
The tragedy comes shortly after Jota married his longtime partner in June.
The couple shared three young children together.
Tributes continue to pour in from teammates, coaches, and fans around the world.
