According to the Zamora provincial council, firefighters attended the scene on the A52, known as the Palacios de Sanabria, after the vehicle caught fire.

The Jota chant came about when the striker was in top form, netting against Arsenal twice in 2-1 victory at Arsenal in 2022 to help the club into the Carabao Cup final.

The new song which took off in the away end at the Emirates in 2022 has remained as one of the Kop's favourite chants.

The lad from Portugal heard his name sung on numerous occasions.

The song references Jota's Liverpool shirt number and style of play, making a comparison with legendary Portugal star Luis Figo.

He was the second Portuguese player to win the award, following Eusébio.

The song is sung to the tune of a famous chant from River Plate fans in Argentina:

Oh, he wears the number 20,He will take us to victory,And when he’s running down the left wing,He’ll cut inside and score for LFC.He’s a lad from Portugal,Better than Figo don’t you know,Oh, his name is Diogo!

Jota heard his song chanted for the final time at Anfield when the Premier League celebrations took place in May.

The tragic death comes just over a month after Jota made a special video appearance at Webster's BOSS KIDS show at the M&S Bank Arena on May 25, celebrating the final weekend of the 24/25 Premier League season.

We are champions."
