Rute Cardoso, widow of Liverpool FC footballer Diogo Jota, shared a deeply emotional message on Instagram, marking one month since their wedding and just 11 days after his tragic death. The couple had married in June, and Rute's post poignantly read, "1 mês do nosso 'nem a morte nos separa'. Para sempre, A tua branquinha," which translates to "1 month [since we said], 'Until death do us part'. Forever, Your [bride]."
Diogo Jota, 28, and his brother Andre Felipe, 26, both professional footballers, died in a fatal car collision on July 2 on the A-52 motorway near Cernadilla, Zamora in northwestern Spain. The accident reportedly occurred when their vehicle veered off the road, possibly due to a tire burst, and subsequently caught fire. The Guardia Civil confirmed the deaths pending forensic tests.
The brothers had been traveling through the night, planning an eight-hour journey with a rest stop in Burgos before reaching Santander to catch a ferry to England. According to reports, Andre decided to join Diogo on the trip to spend more time together.
Following the incident, Rute Cardoso's message serves as a heartbreaking tribute to their brief married life and her eternal love amid the devastating loss. The tragedy has profoundly affected the football community and fans worldwide.
