Former Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana traveled to Anfield to pay tribute to the late Diogo Jota, following his death a week ago.
Jota died alongside his brother, Andre Silva, when the car that the pair were traveling in blew a tyre in Spain as they made their way back to Liverpool by road.
The Reds forward had been advised against air travel, so planned to catch a ferry from the Spanish port city of Santander to the South Coast of England, before continuing on to Merseyside.
The police report into the circumstances surrounding the collision is yet to be completed, but the Spanish Civil Guard said earlier this week that initial tests pointed to Jota being the driver of the car, while it also said that there were indicators that the car was traveling above the speed limit.

The soccer world has been paying tribute to Jota over the past week, and an impressive memorial remains outside Anfield.
The likes of Jordan Henderson, Andy Robertson and Arne Slot have all been pictured attending the memorial over the last week, and on Thursday former Reds star Lallana was also pictured paying his respects.
Lallana did not play alongside Jota for the Reds, leaving Anfield in 2020 — the same summer that Jota arrived — but demonstrated that Liverpool Football Club is one big family as he turned up to remember the late Portugal star.
On Tuesday, Liverpool head coach Slot, Reds left-back Robertson, and FSG's CEO of football Michael Edwards journeyed to Anfield to add their contributions to Jota's memorial.
Robertson left a message alongside a bouquet of flowers, which read: “Our hearts are broken.
Robbo.”
Slot, alongside his wife, laid a bunch of flowers and a card at the memorial.
Andre and yourself will always be in our hearts,” read the card, which was signed by Slot’s family.
Edwards, the CEO of Football for Fenway Sports Group, left a card that read: “With love and remembrance
In honour of Diogo Jota - down to earth, determined, a great finisher, and above all, loved and respected by all who knew him
